Double Jointed Leather Covered Pelham

The Double Jointed Leather Covered Pelham Bit has a stainless steel core wrapped in leather, providing strength while offering a softer surface than a bare metal bit. The leather softens slightly when moistened, giving a gentler surface for horses with sensitive mouths. Flat, non-abrasive stitching keeps the mouthpiece smooth, reducing the risk of irritation. Pelham cheekpieces allow for curb and poll pressure when needed, offering additional leverage while maintaining steady contact. The double-jointed mouthpiece has a central link that distributes pressure evenly and reduces the nutcracker effect. Ideal for horses that require leverage but benefit from a leather covered mouthpiece rather than a standard metal bit. Key Features of the Leather-Covered Mouthpiece Softens with Saliva :The leather covering the bit becomes more pliable when moistened, offering a gentler surface for horses that prefer softer mouthpieces and encouraging better acceptance in sensitive mouths. Durable Core with Leather Overlay : A solid metal core wrapped in high-quality leather combines strength with a softer feel compared to bare metal bits. Flat, Non-Abrasive Stitching : The stitching lies flush against the leather, reducing the chance of rubbing or irritation and keeping the mouthpiece comfortable for the horse. Double Jointed Features : Even Pressure Distribution: The two joints with a center link reduce palate pressure and distributes contact more evenly across the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth. Tongue Pressure Variation: The size and shape of the center link influence how much tongue pressure is applied, making it adaptable for horses with different mouth conformations. Greater Mobility: The design allows the mouthpiece to move more freely than a single joint, improving comfort and reducing resistance in many horses. Pelham Design Features : Versatile Rein Options : The Pelham design allows for multiple rein placements, offering the rider flexibility in how much leverage they want to apply based on their riding situation. Balanced Leverage : The shanks of the Pelham provide balanced leverage, giving riders the option to gently lift the horse when needed while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel. Encourages Responsiveness : Even with the added leverage, the Pelham design helps horses remain responsive and engaged, promoting better communication between horse and rider.
