The range of bits from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you in more detail to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions 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 on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Straight Bar Bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Driving Bits
Driving bits such as the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 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 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 tongue arch 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 is commonly used for agricultural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a ring bit.
