Pelham Jointed Mouth Tom Thumb with short Cheeks

Pelham Jointed Mouth Tom Thumb with Short Cheeks

• Pelham Design: This bit combines direct and leverage action, offering the rider both subtle guidance and more precise control. It is ideal for horses that require a balance of responsiveness and firm steering.
• Jointed Tom Thumb Mouthpiece: The jointed mouthpiece features a single joint, which provides a mild nutcracker action, applying gentle pressure to the horse’s tongue and the roof of the mouth. This helps create clear communication between the rider and horse without being too harsh.
• Short Cheeks: The short cheeks reduce the overall leverage effect compared to standard Pelham bits, offering a more moderate pressure on the horse’s mouth, poll, and chin. This makes the bit ideal for horses that require a less intense leverage action while still benefiting from the control Pelham bits offer.
• Leverage Action: With the combination of the jointed mouthpiece and short cheeks, this Pelham offers more control, particularly in steering and lateral movements, while maintaining comfort for the horse. The leverage system helps to apply pressure to multiple areas of the horse’s head for a refined response.
• Material: Typically made from high-quality materials like stainless steel, the bit ensures durability and long-lasting performance while providing a comfortable and effective fit for the horse.
• Benefits: The Pelham Jointed Mouth Tom Thumb with Short Cheeks is perfect for riders who need enhanced control and communication without the more extreme leverage of a traditional Pelham. Its moderate leverage and jointed mouthpiece make it suitable for horses that require a gentler touch while still offering precise control for training, showing, or advanced riding.
