🐎 Why choose this product?
⚠️ A Pelham has shanks and a curb chain: it acts through leverage, and its pressure exceeds that of a snaffle. It is used with two pairs of reins, or with roundings when only one pair is desired—roundings are mandatory in competition. The Pelham allows you to ride with a single bit where a double bridle requires two, but it is not a bit to be used casually: it is a leverage bit. The flavored mouthpiece helps with acceptance, not with the power of the setup: the leverage remains fully effective.
🧴 Care instructions
Rinse with clean water after use. ⚠️ Check a plastic mouthpiece regularly: if it is nicked or chewed, replace it. Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece stretched straight. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth.
