Baby Pelham Single Jointed Rubber Covered

Baby pelham with short cheekpieces of 5 cm long. This single-jointed variant is covered with rubber.

The pelham cheekpiece combines the effect of a snaffle and a double bridle. The bit has one cheekpiece but can be ridden with one or two reins. If you choose to ride with one rein, a pelham strap is needed to connect the bit rings to the rings of the shanks. The longer the shanks, the sharper the effect. The baby pelham has short shanks and therefore is less sharp than the normal pelham. A pelham bit is mainly used with strong horses, horses with too little space in the mouth for two mouthpieces or horses that have to get used to a double bridle. This bit is not suitable for the inexperienced rider.

A jointed bit has one hinge point, which means less pressure on the tongue than with a eliptical mouthpiece. A jointed mouthpiece exerts pressure mainly on the layers, the side of the tongue and can also have an effect on the palate. A jointed mouthpiece is seen as a standard mouthpiece.
