The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots high port 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots high port 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. The 14.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Ported Bits
A port is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A ported mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheeks
Driving Bits
Driving bits such as the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots high port 16mm 14.5 are specially suited for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving bits.
Liverpool Bit The Liverpool bit is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the port forward. This forward tilt relieves the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Bit The post bit is also a classic driving bit and commonly used for agricultural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attaching to the lower ring creates leverage. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
