The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need 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 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 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.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle that applies even pressure to the tongue. This double-jointed mouthpiece is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, ideal for accustoming horses to poll pressure as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 and is more comfortable for the horse.
