Pelham bit with a single-jointed mouthpiece in sweet iron that combines the effect of a snaffle bit and a curb bit in a thoughtful and balanced design. The bit allows for both direct contact in the mouth and a mild leverage effect, making it a good choice for horses that need a little extra support, better balance, or clearer framing without resorting to a too sharp solution.
The sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes naturally with use, which stimulates saliva production and encourages the horse to relax and accept the bit better. This can contribute to a softer contact and a more relaxed feeling while riding.
The single-jointed mouthpiece provides a clear and straight action. When the rein is taken, the bit forms a V, distributing pressure over the tongue and bars. This type of construction is often appreciated by horses that prefer a bit with a more defined action and steady contact. It can also be a good alternative for horses with a higher palate.
The Pelham cheeks with short shanks provide a mild leverage effect that is easier for the rider to regulate. The bit can be used with two reins or with a converter, offering flexibility depending on the horse, rider, and level of training. A curb chain can also be used to stabilize the bit and distribute pressure more evenly.
After each use, the bit should be rinsed in warm water and dried with a soft cloth. Over time, sweet iron develops a light patina, which is a natural process that contributes to the material's taste and function. Store the bit dry and regularly check that the surface is smooth and fine. Make sure the bit is placed correctly with the star on the left side and the Velari logo on the right side.
