Bombers Bits Control Plate Pelham
The Bombers Bits Control Plate Pelham is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control.
The Pelham has attachments for two reins, one near the mouthpiece and one at the end of the shank. These reins have similar action to the curb and bridoon reins in the double bridle.
Some riders, not adept at handling two sets of reins, prefer to use rein connectors, leather loops which connect from one ring to the other on the bit shank. The rein is then attached to this Pelham rounding. This ensures that the rider is able to ride with just one set of reins.
This Pelham has the 75mm shank. If you are interested in a longer shank please feel free to ask.
It is supplied with curb chain and hooks.
All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:
•oxidises easily
•encourages salivation
•helps bit acceptance
•is warm and sweet
Please note the blue will fade with use.
