The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham single jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

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 the palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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.

Information about the manufacturer

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being further developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, which is ideally suited to accustom horses to the leverage in the poll, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham single jointed 16mm 11.5 and is more comfortable for the horse.
