Pelham Wave Sensitive

Expert opinion : The Acavallo Sensitive straight pelham bit provides a constant and symmetrical contact. It helps with contact on the bit and is best suited for horses that have difficulty with stainless steel bits. The straight barrel exerts direct pressure on the tongue and bars, while freeing the palate. The fact that it is straight ensures symmetrical left/right contact of the hand to the mouth and eliminates any risk of pinching on the tongue. All these elements will allow the horse to gain confidence in his mouthpiece, to come to rest and to stretch. The one-piece design of the bit avoids unilateral pinching of the tongue, as well as painful irritation of the palate. The action of the pelham helps you flex your horse's neck, while maintaining constant contact with his straight barrel. It is an ideal bit for strong horses that tend to open up on the hand. It is a bit with an integrated, flexible steel reinforcement for added safety and comfort. This bit can be used in two different ways :

• When used on the top ring, the pelham is slightly lifting. This bit is a little more powerful than a snaffle.
• When used on the bottom ring, the pelham is a lowering bit. In this use, the pelham is an extremely powerful bit.
