Trust pelham dr. bristol

Trust pelham medium port. The Trust baby pelham 70 has attachments for two reins, one near the mouthpiece and one at the end of the shank. These reins have similar action to the curb and bridoon reins in the double bridle. Some riders, not adept at handling two sets of reins, prefer to use rein connectors, leather loops which connect from one ring to the other on the bit shank. The rein is then attached to this rounding.

The Pelham 70 has the longer shank (70 mm) out of our range. The Happy Tongue is a solid mouth piece. It is curved and ported to give tongue relief.

• helps bit acceptance
• is warm and sweet

Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue colour of the TRUST-bit to a brownish-grey. If a sweet iron bit is not used for a while, an orange-brown rust layer may develop on the mouthpiece. Simply remove this by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.

Trust pelham jointed locked. The locking centre joint and curved mouthpiece of the Lock Up pelham are designed to remove the nutcracker action of a conventional single-jointed pelham, so this bit will bear less pressure on the bars of the horse’s mouth. The mouthpiece cannot bend beyond a certain point, so it remains in a curve in the mouth, rather than forming a V-shape that could rub the top of the horse’s palate. A pelham gives cheek, curb and poll pressure and is suited for strong horses. It is used with a curb chain which comes included with the bit.

A baby pelham like this bit is slightly more friendly than a regular pelham.

Trust pelham brass rings. The Trust Blue Sweet Iron mouthpiece from the Trust brand has a centre piece with brass rings. This creates tongue pressure if the horse becomes strong and also gives the horse something to play with, which encourages a soft contact and helps to keep the horse's attention on the bit.

The blue sweet iron mouthpiece encourages salivation, softening and acceptance of the bit because it oxidises easily, creating a warm, sweet taste in the horse's mouth. The double joint means the mouthpiece follows the contours of the horse's mouth, which reduces the 'nutcracker' action associated with single jointed bits, and resultant bar and palate pressure.

Please note the blue will fade with use.
