Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest 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 need 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 conditions 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 Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-link. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The 14.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, which is ideal for accustoming horses to poll pressure, as it has shorter shanks. These significantly reduce the leverage of the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5, making it more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

Multi-link/Waterford

A multi-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, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.
