The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Babypelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which means a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing 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 when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts primarily on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

Shank

Babypelham

The Baby Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideal for getting horses used 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 12.5 and make it more comfortable for the horse.
