The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Baby Pelham Straight 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The Trust Bit Leather Bar Baby Pelham Straight 20mm 12.5 is made of leather and features Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Leather

Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit glides easily in the mouth, thus increasing well-being. Leather mouthpieces are usually vegetable-tanned and hand-stitched.

Our leather mouthpiece is particularly suitable for young and extremely sensitive horses. Even horses that are completely bridle-shy usually accept a leather bit willingly and can learn to approach the bit confidently again.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked in cooking oil for a few hours before first use. Repeat this process as soon as the leather appears dry. Before each use, you should briefly soak it in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.

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

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideal for accustoming horses to the leverage action on the poll, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage action of the Trust Bit Leather Bar Baby Pelham Straight 20mm 12.5 and makes it more comfortable for the horse.
