The Trust Sweet Iron Pelham | Waterford | 16mm is a versatile leverage bit designed to offer both control and comfort. The Pelham design provides mild leverage through the shanks, which can be used with two reins for refined communication or pelham straps for simpler handling. This makes it ideal for horses that require more control while maintaining a gentle feel in the mouth.

The Waterford mouthpiece features a series of flexible links that move with the horse’s mouth, preventing the horse from leaning on the bit or becoming heavy in the hand. This design encourages a softer, more responsive connection, making it suitable for horses that tend to be strong or pull.

Made from Sweet Iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes when exposed to moisture, producing a sweet taste that stimulates saliva production and improves bit acceptance. Over time, the blue color of Sweet Iron will gradually fade to a brownish-grey as part of the natural oxidation process.

With a thickness of 16mm, the Trust Sweet Iron Pelham | Waterford | 16mm ensures even pressure distribution and provides a balanced, responsive connection between the rider and the horse, making it an excellent choice for riders seeking both comfort and control.
