The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides gentle yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian assortment in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Driving Curb Bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. This makes it a rather 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions 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
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Driving Curb Bits
Driving curb bits such as the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 are specially suited for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curb bits.
Liverpool Curb Bit The Liverpool curb bit is a classic driving bit and offers several possibilities for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb 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 pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Curb Bit The post curb bit is also a classic driving curb bit and is common for agricultural harnessing. It offers two possibilities for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates a leverage effect. With attachment in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
