Jump'In Fine Pelham Bit with Short Shanks

The Fine Pelham Bit with Short Shanks is designed for riders seeking precise communication with a moderate leverage effect. Featuring 45 mm short shanks, it offers an excellent compromise between a snaffle and a double bridle, providing additional control while maintaining refined contact.

Its 14 mm thin mouthpiece is made from German Silver (65% copper, 23% zinc, 12% nickel), an alloy renowned for encouraging salivation and promoting relaxation. This helps the horse accept the bit more readily while maintaining a soft, consistent contact.

The Pelham combines pressure on the mouth, lower jaw and poll. The strength of the leverage depends on the curb chain adjustment, rein configuration and shank length. The short shanks provide a moderate leverage effect, making this bit particularly suitable for sensitive horses or riders looking for subtle yet effective control.

The bit can be ridden with a single pair of reins, double reins, or roundings, allowing the action to be tailored to the horse's needs. The curb action can also be softened by replacing the curb chain with a leather or nylon curb strap.
