Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pelham Medium Port 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Bit Medium Bar 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strong mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draught horses, and Shires 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 palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Bit Medium Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

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

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for very large warmbloods.

Sidepiece

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 angulation in the mouth can be achieved. Possible uses include horses that have difficulty going on the bit, "hot" horses, or horses that require clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight 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 effect 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 therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
