2240 Pelham Bit

Sizes: 5", 5 ¼", 5 ¾"; Lower Part 5cm; Thickness 14mm
With Sweet Copper Link

Benefits of Sweet Copper Mouth:

  • Better acceptance because it encourages the horse to chew, thus enhances the saliva production   
  • The delicate sweet taste of the middle piece (SWEET COPPER LINK) encourages horses to salivate because their taste buds are situated in the centre of the tongue
  • Massive copper composition (90% Copper, 7% Iron + Aluminum, No Nickel) with very high strength (stronger than Argentan)
  • Horses feel good with Sweet Copper

Benefits of a Pelham Bit:

  • Can be ridden with one or two sets of reins
  • Leverage bit putting pressure on the bars of the mouth as well as the poll
  • Exact and effective responsiveness
  • Only if you use a Pelham with two reins, you can take advantage of the bit to its full extent. With the rein in the upper large ring, called the snaffle-rein, the action of the bit is similar to an Egg-But-Bit or a Loose-Ring-Snaffle.
  • The lower rein, called the curb rein, which is attached to the lower end of the shank, is used for its curb action with a leverage effect, applying pressure on the poll.
  • Using the Bit with a bit converter and only one rein minimizes its effect. A famous German Riding-Instructor (Trainer) once told me, using a bit converter when riding with a Pelham is like driving a car and holding the hand break at the same time.
  • The special features of a Stübben STEEL tec Pelham are its short shanks of only 5cm ca. 2 inches. This reduces the leverage, but allows a quicker more direct action between reins and mouthpiece. (Standard Pelhams have shanks with a length of 7cm or 2.3/4 inches). 
  • The immediate response is especially helpful when show jumping, particularly when the course has many tight turns.
  • The flat curb chain hooks prevent the horse’s lips from being pinched.
  • Furthermore, our curb chain, with flat hooks, is easier to adjust to the each horse’s chin, because you don‘t have to twist it like a conventional curb chain, so it can lie flat in the chin groove.
