Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Baby Pelham Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Baby Pelham Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with Baby Pelham cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit material

Leather

The acceptance of leather bits is exceptionally high. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit slides 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 absolutely bit-shy usually readily accept a leather bit and can relearn a trusting approach to the bit.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked in cooking oil for a few hours before the 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.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

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.

Cheek piece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, which is ideal for accustoming horses to the leverage in the poll, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage of the Trust Bit Leather Bar Baby Pelham Straight 20mm 14.5 and makes it more comfortable for the horse.
