The range of bits from Trust Equestrian provides gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Pelham double jointed 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Pelham double jointed 12mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.
Comparison 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 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
double jointed
A double jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
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 different degree of strong and immediate 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 need clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.
