Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's corner of the mouth. This means it is 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 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Cheek piece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideal for accustoming horses to the leverage effect on the poll, as it has shorter shanks. These significantly reduce the leverage effect of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 and make it more comfortable for the horse.

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 action 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 lean against the hand.

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 when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
