The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but 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 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving curb cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather 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 choosing 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 the 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
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 Curbs
Driving curbs like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 14.5 are specially suited for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curbs.
Liverpool Curb The Liverpool curb is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb 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 Curb The post curb is also a classic driving curb and is commonly used for single harness. 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.
