Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Flat Bar 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Flat Bar Bit 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point, making it a medium-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 require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is typically suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Flat Bar Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

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 and immediate angle of the bit 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 significant action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action 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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.
