The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick 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 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.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.

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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek piece

Pelham

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