Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Cherry Roller - 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.

Baby Pelham:

A baby pelham is a bit with a curb chain and short 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.

The use of a pelham makes it easier to set a horse deeply and is often used with stronger horses.

The pelham is not suitable for inexperienced riders or horses, this bit can work quite strongly.

Copper & Cherry Roller

The mouthpiece of this bit features a series of rollers that encourage the horse to play with the bit, creating relaxation in the jaws.

The movement of these rollers promote the production of saliva, which makes it easier to accept the bit and the horse is less suitable for grabbing the bit.

Due to the more rounded shape of the mouthpiece, a cherry roller has a friendlier effect than the Magenis bit.
