Sweet Iron pelham jointed - Trust

The Trust single-jointed pelham bit is designed for strong or energetic horses requiring additional control. Available with short or long shanks, it allows riders to adjust the intensity of their aids according to the horse's needs.

Its single-jointed mouthpiece features a refined joint that promotes mobility and direct communication through the reins. It applies pressure to the tongue and bars, with a possible nutcracker effect depending on mouth conformation and rein tension.

Sweet Iron naturally oxidises when exposed to moisture, developing a distinctive taste that encourages chewing and salivation. This material may promote relaxation and improve bit acceptance.

The pelham applies leverage pressure to the poll and chin through the curb chain. Short shanks provide a more direct action, while long shanks increase leverage. The intensity also depends on the curb chain adjustment and whether pelham roundings or two sets of reins are used.

This bit combines the mobility of a single-jointed mouthpiece with adjustable leverage. Supplied with a curb chain.

Sweet Iron: Sweet Iron is an alloy that naturally oxidises when exposed to moisture in the horse's mouth and air. This oxidation develops a slightly sweet taste that encourages chewing and saliva production. It can therefore promote bit acceptance, relaxation of the mouth and more consistent contact. Oxidation gradually changes the appearance of the mouthpiece, which is a normal characteristic of this material.
