Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham single-jointed blocking 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, single jointed, locked 16mm 14.5

The bit has a thickness of 20mm, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. This makes it a rather 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, draft 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 palate.

The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, single jointed, locked 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, single jointed, locked 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Shank

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideal for getting horses used 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 14.5 and makes it more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece resembles 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 changes back 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
