Trust Sweet Iron Pelham Waterford - 16mm

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.
