Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is typically suitable for a pony.

When selecting 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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, bars and corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideal for accustoming horses to poll pressure, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage of the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 and makes it more comfortable for the horse.
