Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, single jointed, locking, 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Single Jointed Locked 16mm 11.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham single jointed locked 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporting thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

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

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece is similar to a single jointed mouthpiece, but cannot bend as much as a single jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit reverts to a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust develops on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
