Trust Equestrian Sweet Iron Pelham Brass Ring

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.

Double Jointed, Elliptical

• The double Jointed mouthpiece consists of 3 parts.
• The middle part of this mouthpiece lies flat on the tongue and will put more pressure on the tongue than a single jointed mouthpiece.
• The thicker the middle part, the more pressure on the tongue.

Brass Rings

• The center piece of this bit features brass rings that encourage the horse to play with the bit, increasing the tongue activity.
• The horse will produce more saliva and will relax the jaws better.
