The Tilting Pelham Bit with Flat Mouthpiece and Short Shanks offers an excellent balance of control, comfort and refined communication. Equipped with 4 cm shanks, it provides a moderate leverage effect, making it ideal for sensitive horses or those requiring gentle yet precise support.
Its distinctive flat straight mouthpiece pivots on a 90° tilting joint, allowing it to naturally follow the angle of the horse's jaw. This innovative design creates a broad contact surface that distributes pressure evenly across the mouth. The integrated tongue relief provides additional tongue room, reduces pressure on the palate and encourages relaxation.
The Pelham bit is an excellent compromise between a snaffle and a double bridle. Its leverage can be adjusted through the shank length, curb chain adjustment and rein configuration. It encourages poll flexion while applying controlled pressure to the lower jaw, providing greater control without sacrificing finesse.
