Trust Sweet Iron Double Broken Pelham with High Port 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-bloods, 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 palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides gentle yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Pelham

The Pelham is a popular bit with short or long shanks. When the reins are taken up, the bit acts on the mouth, lower jaw, and poll. Depending on the leverage of the shanks, a varying degree of strong and immediate bit angulation in the mouth can be achieved. Possible use for horses that have difficulty going on the bit, for "hot" horses, or for horses that require clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

Mullen Mouth Bits

A mullen mouth is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A mullen mouth mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
