The Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Waterford Multi-jointed Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed design. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth, creating even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Cheek Piece

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 on the bit, for "hot" horses, or for horses that require significant action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.
