Trust Sweet Iron Pony Pelham Snaffle 12mm 10.5

Trust Sweet Iron Pony Pelham Snaffle 12mm 10.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point, making it a thinner 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-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Pelham Snaffle 12mm 10.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Pelham Snaffle 12mm 10.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a single-jointed snaffle. The bit has a size of 10.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for ponies.

Shank

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

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed one.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.
