Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Medium Port 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, Medium Bar, 16mm 12.5

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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the 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 the palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, Medium Bar, 16mm 12.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

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 of the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham, Medium Bar, 16mm 12.5 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
