Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford

The Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Waterford Is Expertly designed and crafted.

The Pelham bit combines the action of a snaffle and a double bridle. The bit has one bit 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 shanks. The Pelham is a mouthpiece with leverage. The longer the shanks, the sharper the action. The baby Pelham has short shanks and therefore has a milder action than the normal Pelham. A Pelham bit is mainly used for strong horses, horses with too little room in the mouth for two mouthpieces or horses that have to get used to a double bridle. This bit is not suitable for the inexperienced rider.

A Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that molds to the horse's mouth and creates an even pressure. It can move in all directions making it difficult for the horse to grip the bit so that the rider can maintain proper control. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders. In soft hands this mouthpiece is gentle but with a hard hand the bit can be sharp.

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 naturally stimulates the horse's saliva production. This will cause the horse to foam more, which ensures better acceptance of the bit. This rust process (oxidation) changes the blue color of the TRUST bits to brown-gray.
