I ordered the medium port Pelham from Trusg Equestrian and it is the best thing I’ve ever put in my horse’s mouth. He is soft and accepts it nicely while still coming back when I ask him to due to the nature of the Pelham. I ride with two reins and the curb allows for effective action without putting too much pressure on his sensitive tongue thanks to the port. I’ve used trust bits in the past and they will forever be a favorite
I used the shoes in Iceland for riding and bit hiking. Had them on whole days and walked around waterfalls getting the shoes wet. I had no problems even I didn't have time to use them before so they were brand new and they kept my feet dry.
For warmer weather they might be too warm, but for fall, spring and mild winter they will be perfect!
I usually use 38 or 39 on shoes and got 39 on these. 38,5 would have been perfect with normal sock, but with 39 I can fit wool sock for colder days.
