Trust Equestrian Sweet Iron Baby Pelham flat bar

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Straight Bar

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is a medium-strength 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.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Straight Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Straight Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit thickness

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. These significantly reduce the leverage of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Straight Bar, making it more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

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

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.
