The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit, 3-Slots, High Port from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit, 3-Slots, High Port is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a ported bar.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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 ported bar 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.
Cheek Piece
Driving Bits
Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit, 3-Slots, High Port are particularly suitable 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 possibilities for rein attachment. The Liverpool bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the tongue arch forward. This forward tilt relieves the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.
Post Bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and is commonly used for driving in the countryside. It offers two possibilities for rein attachment. The rein is attached to the lower ring to create a leverage effect. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
