Pelham Happy Tongue - Bombers

Our expert's opinion

The “Happy tongue” bit has a lot going for it, providing comfort for horses with sensitive mouths that find it difficult to tense up. In addition to the advantages of titanium, the anatomy of the bit offers maximum space for the tongue, and its “arc” allows optimum distribution of pressure on the bars, tongue and commissures. The fact that it is straight ensures symmetrical left/right contact from the hand to the mouth and eliminates any risk of pinching the tongue. All these elements will enable the horse to gain confidence in his mouthpiece, to come to rest and to tense up. The pelham is a fixed lever bit. Through its action on the horse's neck and chin (mandible), it has a greater or lesser lowering effect, depending on the size of the prongs and its installation (two- or four-reinse adjustment, rings, curb chain). It's ideal for powerful horses and/or those with a high blood pressure to channel their energy. The curb chain allows you to vary the intensity of the bit.> Curb protectors are recommended for sensitive horses.> Sold with hooks and curb chain.
