Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pony Pelham bit, single-jointed, 12mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thin mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shires 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 check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Pelham bit, single-jointed, 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Pelham bit, single-jointed, 12mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Pelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.
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 angle can be achieved in the mouth. Possible use for horses that have difficulty going on the bit, for "hot" horses, or for horses that require clear 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 exerts pressure on the bars and the 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 mouthpiece.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
