Trust Sweet Iron Double-Jointed Baby Pelham 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double Jointed 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

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. These significantly reduce the leverage of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 and are more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
