Trust Baby Pelham Sweet Iron Jointed 16mm

The pelham jaw piece combines the action of a snaffle and a bar and snaffle. The bit has one jaw piece but can be ridden with one or two reins. If you choose to ride with one rein, a pelham strap is needed to connect the bit rings to the rings of the scissors. The pelham is a lever-action mouthpiece. The longer the scissors, the sharper the effect. The baby pelham has short claws and therefore has a milder effect than the normal pelham. A pelham bit is mainly used for strong horses, horses with too little space in the mouth for two mouthpieces or horses that have to get used to a bar and snaffle. This bit is not suitable for the inexperienced rider. The single-broken bit has one pivot point, which puts less pressure on the tongue than with a double-broken mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly acts on the layers, the side of the tongue and can also act in the palate. A single-joint mouthpiece is considered a standard mouthpiece. The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. Sweet Iron develops surface rust through contact with (air) moisture that tastes sweet and stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This will cause the horse to foam more, which ensures better acceptance of the bit. This rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue color of the TRUST bits into brown-gray. The TRUST equestrian bits are typically Dutch. All bits are designed, developed and handmade in the Netherlands. A team of technical professionals works on production every day. The bits are assembled with the utmost care and made of the best materials. The quality control and standard are therefore very high. With every design, the balance between shape, material and weight is continuously taken into account. The TRUST bits are slightly curved so that they shape better to the horse's mouth. Due to this anatomical shape, the bit lies better in the mouth and the pressure is better distributed. Due to the wide choice of mouthpieces, jawpieces and materials, TRUST strives to have a suitable bit for every horse.
