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 Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore 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 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.
Cheek piece
Driving Bits
Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 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 tongue arch forward. This forward inclination relieves pressure on 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. 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.
