The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, single jointed, locked, 16mm 13.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, single jointed, locked, 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Babypelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are engaged. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on 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 its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

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 thus 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 against the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Shank

Babypelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation 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 Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, single jointed, locked, 16mm 13.5 bit and makes it more comfortable for the horse.
