Trust Pelham Bit Leather Straight Bar 20mm 13.5

Trust Pelham Leather Bar Bit straight 20mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Pelham Leather Bar Bit straight 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Pelham Leather Bar Bit straight 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and equipped with Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

Pelham

The Pelham is a popular bit with short or long shanks. When taking up the reins, the bit acts on the mouth, lower jaw, and poll. Depending on the leverage of the shanks, a different degree of strong and immediate bit angle in the mouth can be achieved. Possible use for horses that have difficulty bending at the poll, for "hot" horses, or for horses that require clear influence in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.

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.

Bit Material

Leather

Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Virtually every horse "likes" it! Leather is a pure natural product, it stimulates chewing activity and saliva production. The bit glides easily in the mouth and thus increases 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 resistant to bits usually readily accept a leather bit and can relearn a trusting approach to the bit.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should soak 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.
