PELHAM |

A Pelham is a type of bit that features shanks and a curb chain, which apply pressure behind the ears, creating leverage. The length of the shanks and the chin strap or curb chain determine the severity of the bit.

When used with two reins, the top ring provides a softer grip, while the bottom ring offers Pelham leverage. Alternatively, a connecting strap (bridge) can be used with a single rein.

The Pelham bit is commonly used with stronger horses as it allows for deeper flexion, but it is not suitable for inexperienced riders or horses due to the potential for strong effects.

It is important to note that the use of a Pelham requires proper technique and education on the part of the rider. Pelhams should only be used with experienced hands and with careful consideration given to the horse's comfort and safety.

Experience the exceptional combination of comfort and control with the Hexagon Apple Mouth Flexi Mullen, a revolutionary mouthpiece that has been put on a loose ring pelham. This bit provides increased leverage and lifting action similar to a gag bit. The loose ring pelham allows the mouthpiece to elevate in the horse’s mouth with increased poll pressure.

Equipped with the V-shaped side that rests gently against the tongue and the small port for tongue room, the Hexagon Apple Mouth Flexi Mullen ensures your horse's comfort. The flexible yet strong material, reinforced with a steel cable, guarantees durability and stability.

With the Hexagon Apple Mouth Flexi Mullen's innovative design, you can achieve maximum control and rebalancing capabilities, promoting a cooperative response from your horse. This mouth piece is very flexible which allows for use on most horses.
