The bit range from Trust Equestrian delivers soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multiple link. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept the Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Multiple Link/Waterford

A multiple link or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, so the rider maintains proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Shank

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variant of the Pelham, which is ideally suited for accustoming horses to poll pressure, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage effect of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 and is more comfortable for the horse.
