Bit elliptical pelham contact

The Pelham Bit with Elliptical Link is a versatile and effective bit suitable for a wide range of disciplines. Designed to work best with double reins, it provides nuanced control by combining direct mouth contact with poll pressure. The snaffle rein allows for gentle, precise communication with the horse’s mouth, while the curb rein applies leverage to encourage the horse to lower its head and bring its nose toward the chest.

For younger riders, children, or ponies, the two reins can easily be joined using a rein connector, enabling the bit to be used with a single rein without losing its functionality. The bit can also be ridden with just one rein, attached either to the snaffle ring or the curb ring, depending on the desired effect and the horse’s training level.

The elliptical mouthpiece is designed with a rounded central piece, offering a gentler feel than a traditional straight mouthpiece. Its unique shape reduces pressure on the horse’s tongue, bars, and palate, making it more comfortable and easier for horses to accept. By encouraging a softer, more relaxed contact, the elliptical mouthpiece helps promote better responsiveness and a calmer, more willing attitude.
