Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham double jointed

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Double-Jointed

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is more of a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually 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.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham double-jointed from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham double-jointed is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, which is ideal for getting horses used to the leverage in the poll, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham double-jointed and makes it more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

Double-jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
