Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Slow Twist Jointed 16mm

The Baby Pelham is a cheekpiece with combined leverage on the poll, just behind the ears, and the chin. It can be used with one or two reins, but if you choose to ride with one rein, this must be done with a connection between the large and lower loose ring. The strap used for this is called a Pelham strap. The greater the leverage effect, the bigger the impact. The Baby Pelham has short shanks and therefore it has a milder effect than the normal Pelham. This bit comes with a curb chain, which should be well-fitted.

The Slow Twist mouthpiece is single-jointed with twisted iron on both sides. Because of the twist, this mouthpiece has a sharper edge and therefore a sharper effect on the layers than a normal single-jointed mouthpiece. This mouthpiece is not suitable for sensitive horses or inexperienced riders.
