Trust Sweet Iron Pelham French Link 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar 16mm 13.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's muzzle area. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar 16mm 13.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Shank

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 different degree and immediacy of bit angle in the mouth can be achieved. Possible use for horses that have difficulty flexing at the poll, for "hot" horses, or for horses that require clear influence 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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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