Trust Equestrian Sweet Iron Pelham Locked

Product description

Sweet Iron

• Sweet Iron bits are made of blue steel and release a sweet-tasting surface rust through contact with saliva, which stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This sweet surface rust will cause the horse to foam more and accept the bit better.
• When a Sweet Iron bit is temporarily not used, an orange-brown rust layer can form on the mouthpiece. This can be easily removed by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.

Pelham:

• A pelham is a bit with a curb chain and shanks, which gives pressure behind the ears and creates leverage.
• A short-shanked pelham is also called baby pelham, and a long-shanked pelham is a common pelham.
• The length of the shanks and the chin strap or curb chain determine the strength of the impact.
  The longer the shanks, the sharper the effect.
• A pelham can be used with 2 reins; The one rein on the top ring for a soft grip
  and the other rein on the bottom ring for pelham leverage.
• You can also use one rein by means of a connecting strap (Bridge), to which the rein is attached.
• The use of a pelham makes it easier to set a horse deeply and is often used with stronger horses.
• The pelham is not suitable for inexperienced riders or horses, this bit can work quite strongly.

Single Jointed

• A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the lips, layers and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
• A single jointed bit rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
• A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.

Locked

• Locked bits resemble a single broken bit, but cannot hinge as much and lock with a lot of rein pressure, turning the bit into a straight bit.
• A locked bit acts with a lot of rein pressure as a straight bit and with little rein pressure as a single jointed bit.
• Locked bits are suitable for horses that run through the hand and are not suitable for an inexperienced rider.
