The Trust Equestrian team is continuously working on innovative bits to further optimize their design and functionality. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham flat bar 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham flat bar 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and features Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire 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 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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideal for accustoming horses to the leverage effect on the poll, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage effect of the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham flat bar 16mm 11.5 bit and makes it more comfortable for the horse.
