A bit with short shanks is called a baby pelham. A pelham with long shanks is a normal pelham. This bit can be used with one or two reins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can also use a pelham strap, this connects the bit ring with the ring a the bottom of the shank. A pelham strap connects the two rings, so just one rein is needed. The effect is a bit softer than riding with two reins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pelham is used in combination with a curb chain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pelham is often used with strong horses. Because of the leverage effect created by the sides, the bit is pretty sharp. By using this bit it’s easier to ride a horse rounder in the neck. The longer the sides, the sharper it is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pelham is not suitable for inexperienced riders or horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003eDescription rubber \/ plastic bits:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rubber bit can be flexible, but also can contain a hard core. The flexible rubber bit has a steel wire running through is, so the bit can not break. The flexible bit is softer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack rubber has the disadvantage that if a horse has a drier mouth, the bit gets hot by friction and then can burn on the tongue. When a horse produces enough saliva, a rubber bit is the softer variant of a metal bit. The plastic variant is smoother and doesn’t have this problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003eStraight mouthpiece features: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" data-placeholder=\"Vertaling\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003eA straight mouthpiece often has a sharper effect than a single or double jointed mouthpiece. The shape of the mouthpiece determines where the pressure will be in the mouth. A straight mouthpiece with tongue port puts more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free. The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Abbey","offers":[{"title":"12.5 cm","offer_id":63977287287133,"sku":"A0344K LONG 125","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"13.5 cm","offer_id":63977287319901,"sku":"A0344L LONG 135","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"14.0 cm","offer_id":63977287352669,"sku":"A0344M LONG 140","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"14.5 cm","offer_id":63977287385437,"sku":"A0344N LONG 145","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/5219\/0813\/files\/pelham-rubber.png?v=1774442360","url":"https:\/\/horseonline.com\/products\/pelham-rubber-mullen-18mm","provider":"HorseOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
