Handcrafted Pelham bit, made of brass and nickel silver.
The Pelham combines a snaffle and a curb bit in a single mouthpiece: two pairs of reins, or one pair with rein converters. The curb chain is included. It is mainly used for jumping and eventing, on a horse that needs to be brought back onto the bit without moving up to a double bridle. The single-jointed mouthpiece acts on the bars and corners of the mouth, with a slight pinching effect on the palate when both reins are used together. It is the most widely used mouthpiece, one that most horses are already familiar with. The entire KavalBit range is shaped and finished by hand, using an alloy of 70% brass and 30% nickel silver. Brass has a taste that horses readily accept and encourages salivation; the shanks are made of stainless steel, with no free nickel, so they are safe for sensitive horses. Corrosion resistance is excellent.
