Jump'in Sam Marsh Baby Pelham Bit

This short-shank Pelham bit offers an excellent balance between control, comfort, and refined communication.

Its flat, straight mouthpiece, particularly atypical, is articulated around a 90° axis, allowing it to naturally follow the angle of the horse’s jaw. This unique design provides a wide contact surface, distributing pressure evenly and offering certain horses greater ease and relaxation during work.

The integrated tongue relief helps to reduce pressure on the palate and encourages relaxation and suppleness.

The Pelham is a great compromise between a snaffle and a double bridle. It offers variable leverage, depending on the length of the shanks, the adjustment of the curb chain, and the rein configuration. It promotes poll flexion while applying controlled pressure on the lower jaw, making it a valuable tool for riders seeking more structure without sacrificing subtlety.

The short shanks (4 cm) provide moderate leverage, ideal for sensitive horses or those needing gentle yet precise guidance.

This bit can be used:

– with single reins (direct action, with or without converters)
– or with double reins (combined direct and leverage action)

The curb chain effect can also be softened by using a leather, nylon, or rubber-covered curb chain.

Maintenance advice: rinse the bit after each use to prevent any residue deposit and to avoid your horse to feel any discomfort.
