Metal AB Pelham Single Jointed Flexi

Product description

Description of pelham:

• A pelham is a bit with a curb chain and shanks, which gives pressure behind the ears and creates leverage.
• A short-shanked pelham is also called baby pelham, and a long-shanked pelham is a common pelham.
• The length of the shanks and the chin strap or curb chain determine the strength of the impact.
  The longer the shanks, the sharper the effect.
• A pelham can be used with 2 reins; The one rein on the top ring for a soft grip and the other rein on the bottom ring for pelham leverage.
• You can also use one rein by means of a connecting strap (Bridge), to which the rein is attached.
• The use of a pelham makes it easier to set a horse deeply and is often used with stronger horses.
• The pelham is not suitable for inexperienced riders or horses, this bit can work quite strongly.

Single Jointed

• A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the layers, lips and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
• The hinge point rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
• A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.
