Long shank straight rubber Pelham bit - Sprenger

The Sprenger straight bar Pelham with long shanks is designed for horses requiring more precise control, particularly those that tend to become strong or lean on the rider's hand.

Its straight rubber-covered mouthpiece distributes pressure across the tongue and bars while providing symmetrical rein aids. It offers a softer contact than an entirely metal mouthpiece.

The rubber coating surrounds a metal core that provides additional security. This material feels less cold in the mouth and may improve bit acceptance in some horses.

The long shanks create leverage acting on the poll and lower jaw, alongside the pressure applied inside the mouth. This Pelham is generally used with a curb chain and can be fitted with Pelham roundings.

Rubber: Rubber provides a softer and less cold contact than metal. It may improve bit acceptance in some sensitive horses. This Sprenger bit features a rubber-covered metal core for additional security. It is important to ensure that the mouthpiece does not come into contact with the horse's teeth to reduce the risk of damage.

Warning: This material is vulnerable and is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty against wear caused by chewing. It is strongly advised not to use a severely damaged bit, as it may injure the horse's bars, tongue and palate.
