The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Bit medium bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Bit medium bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore 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 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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops when exposed to air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

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.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation 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 Bit medium bar 16mm 14.5 and is more comfortable for the horse.
