Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissure. 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the center piece of a double jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, ideal for accustoming horses to poll pressure, as it has shorter shanks. These significantly reduce the leverage of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 and make it more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It primarily acts on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that go against the hand.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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