Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pelham double jointed 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.
Comparative 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pelham double jointed 16mm 12.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Side piece
Pelham
The Pelham is a popular bit with short or long shanks. When taking up the reins, the bit acts on the mouth, lower jaw, and poll. Depending on the leverage of the shanks, a different degree and immediacy of bit angling in the mouth can be achieved. Possible use for horses that have difficulty going through the poll, for "hot" horses, or for horses that need clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.
Mouthpiece
double jointed
A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.
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 they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
