Composition: German Silver (65% copper, 23% zinc, 12% nickel) a relaxing and solid alloy.

Effect: the Pelham bit is a great compromise between the bridle and the double bridle. It offers a lever action more or less strong depending on the cheeks length, the curb chain adjustment and how it is assembled. This bit makes the horse give in in the neck and exercises pressure on the mandibles.

Tips: the particularity of this bit is the position of the rings that gives a lot more action than a standard Pelham bit can give. The straight thin curb cannon gives a better control to the rider. Every Pelham bit can be used directly with two reins, with bit loops or with four reins. Therefore, the curb chain action can be softened by using other curb chain types as leather or nylon ones.

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