The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. 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 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, is shaped more towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth.

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 of strong and immediate bit angle in the mouth can be achieved. Possible use for horses that have difficulty going through the poll, for "hot" horses or for horses that need clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.
