Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Link 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Bar 16mm 11.5 Bit

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest point, making 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 generally suitable for a pony.

When selecting bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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 function of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Bar 16mm 11.5 Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Bar 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is normally ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, ideal for accustoming horses to the leverage effect on the poll, as it has shorter shanks. These significantly reduce the leverage effect of the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Bar 16mm 11.5 Bit, 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

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