Our expert's opinion
The Pelham cheeks provide adjustable leverage and increased control, particularly for horses that tend to come above the contact. The straight mouthpiece applies symmetrical pressure over the tongue and bars without a joint that could pinch the tongue, encouraging steadier contact and greater stability. Its hypoallergenic synthetic material combined with a flexible steel reinforcement provides a softer feel than bare metal and may improve bit acceptance in sensitive horses while retaining the precision required from a Pelham.
Description
The Acavallo Wave Sensitive straight Pelham bit is designed for horses that need a stable and consistent contact, particularly those that tend to come above the contact or struggle to maintain a regular connection with jointed bits.
Its straight mouthpiece distributes the action symmetrically over the tongue and bars while providing clearance from the palate. The one-piece construction limits the risk of pinching the tongue and encourages a steadier, more consistent connection.
The hypoallergenic synthetic mouthpiece incorporates a flexible steel reinforcement. This combination provides a degree of flexibility while maintaining safety and comfort for horses with sensitive mouths.
The Pelham cheeks combine the action of the mouthpiece with leverage. The intensity varies according to the rein attachment and curb chain adjustment: the upper ring provides a more moderate action, while the lower ring significantly increases the lowering and leverage effect.
The thickness of the mouthpiece helps distribute pressure over a wider surface, encouraging consistent contact while retaining the more controlling action of a Pelham.
Material
Rigid, hypoallergenic synthetic material designed to provide a softer contact than metal. The mouthpiece incorporates a flexible steel reinforcement for added safety and strength.
Warning: This material is vulnerable and is not guaranteed by the manufacturer against wear caused by biting. It is strongly recommended not to use a bit that is excessively damaged, as it could injure the horse's bars, tongue or palate.
