Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Mouthpiece

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Mouthpiece

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's muzzle area. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Mouthpiece from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Mouthpiece is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multiple joint.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, which is ideal for getting horses used to poll pressure, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage of the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Jointed Mouthpiece and is more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

Multiple joint/Waterford

A multiple joint or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that molds 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, so the rider maintains proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

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.
