The baby pelham has short shanks and therefore is less sharp than the normal pelham. A pelham bit is mainly used with strong horses, horses with too little space in the mouth for two mouthpieces or horses that have to get used to a double bridle. This bit is not suitable for the inexperienced rider. The cherry roller mouthpiece consists of loose rolls. These rolls prevent the horse from taking hold of the bit. In addition, it can stimulate the tongue activity which produces more saliva and relaxes the jaws. This bit is ideal for horses that holding the bit or have difficulty concentrating.
The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. 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 will encourage a better acceptance of the bit.
