Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Link 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar 16mm 14.5

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.

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 require 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 the palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team is continuously working on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for very large warmbloods.

Cheek Piece

Pelham

The Pelham is a popular bit with short or long shanks. When taking up the reins, 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 bending at the poll, for "hot" horses, or for horses that require significant influence in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight 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 develops when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
