Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the finest materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Bit, single-jointed 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Bit, single-jointed 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-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.

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.

Manufacturer Information

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 continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common mouthpiece alongside the double-jointed one.

Cheek Piece

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 Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Bit, single-jointed 16mm 13.5, making it more comfortable for the horse.
