The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Double Jointed with Copper Rings bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Double Jointed with Copper Rings is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. So it is more of a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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 the palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so 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.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit puts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Cheek piece

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 also for horses that need clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.
