TRUST Sweet Iron Liverpool bit with 3 slots and rotating cheeks, twisted locking-joint mouthpiece

A 3-slot Liverpool bit with rotating cheeks, made of blue-patinated sweet iron, with a twisted locking-joint mouthpiece.

✨ Highlights

• ✔ Sweet Iron is a mild steel that is blued during manufacturing by heating. When exposed to humid air and saliva, it develops a surface oxidation with a sweet taste that naturally stimulates salivation: the horse chews more and accepts the bit better.
• ✔ The twisted single joint locks when it bends: under tension, the mouthpiece acts like a straight mouthpiece, then returns to a single joint as soon as the rider softens the reins. The twist adds edges, resulting in a sharper action.
• ✔ Driving bit with three adjustment slots, with a mouthpiece that pivots on the cheeks: the action is introduced more progressively.

🧴 Usage advice

⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: this is the width of the mouthpiece from one ring to the other. A 125 measures 12.5 cm. Measure your horse's mouth with a bit measuring tool, or use the measurement of the bit it wears: too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ Driving bit: adjust both sides to the same slot. A curb chain is essential. ⚠️ The blue colour turns silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orange film appears when the bit remains unused: this is normal Sweet Iron behaviour, not a defect. A wipe with a damp cloth is enough to remove it. This oxidation is not harmful. ⚠️ Corrective mouthpiece for horses that lean on the bit or run through the hand. Not suitable for sensitive horses or inexperienced riders.
