Small shanks pelham bit

The pelham bit with 70 mm long bars and a standard 16 mm thick cannon made of German Silver (65% copper, 23% zinc, 12% nickel) a relaxing and solid mouthpiece. The 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. Every Pelham bit can be used directly with two reins, with bit connectors or with four reins. Therefore, the curb chain action can be softened by using other curb chain types as leather or nylon ones.
