The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham single jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham single jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Babypelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. 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 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather 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, 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 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Cheekpiece

Babypelham

The Baby-Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideal for accustoming 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 12.5 and is more comfortable for the horse.
