The Leather-Covered Swivel Flat Pelham Bit with Long Shanks is designed for riders seeking enhanced control while maintaining refined communication and maximum comfort for the horse. Featuring 7 cm long shanks, it provides a stronger leverage effect, making it particularly suitable for powerful horses, advanced training and situations requiring greater precision.
Its distinctive flat straight mouthpiece pivots on a unique 90° axis, 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, promoting comfort, stability and relaxation.
The mouthpiece is fully covered with soft leather, encouraging salivation, relaxation and improved acceptance of the bit. An integrated tongue relief reduces pressure on the palate, helping the horse remain comfortable, attentive and relaxed throughout the ride.
The Pelham combines direct rein action with adjustable leverage, depending on the shank length, curb chain adjustment and rein configuration. The 7 cm long shanks provide a more pronounced leverage effect while still allowing refined communication when used correctly.
The bit can be ridden with a single pair of reins (directly or with roundings) or with double reins, allowing the rider to separate the direct rein action from the leverage effect. The curb action can also be softened by using a leather, nylon or covered curb strap or chain.
