Small Shanks pelham bit - Jump'in

Our expert's opinion

Pelham bit with 45 mm long bars and a 30 mm large cannon made of stainless steel. Tthe Pelham bit is a great compromise between the bridle and the double bridle. It offers a lever action more or less strong depending on the cheeks length, the curb chain adjustment and how it is assembled. This bit makes the horse give in in the neck and exercises pressure on the mandibles. The flat mouthpiece is atypical but is very comfortable for certain horse as it articulates around an axis (90°) and offers a large contact surface to the horse. The size of the cheeks makes it a little softer than the 0029P. This Pelham bit can be used directly with two reins or with four reins. Therefore, the curb chain action can be softened by using other curb chain types as leather or nylon ones.
