Rubber Pelham 18 mm long shank - rubber, flexible, size 135 mm

In our range, we generally differentiate between long suits, each seven centimetres long, and short suits, each measuring five centimetres. While the pressure on the poll and lower jaw is less with short suits, your rein aids reach the horse faster and more directly. Longer bridles can generate more pressure on the poll, but the effect is not as direct and pronounced due to the longer lever.

Whether sensitive or strong: bar bits are suitable for very different types of horses, depending on the model. The choice is huge and the way they work can vary enormously depending on the model. But wait a minute: how do you know whether a bar bit might be suitable for you and your horse? Basically, this type of bit is less suitable if your horse is difficult to turn, position and bend. This is because as soon as you have to use one-sided rein aids, the bit tilts. A bar bit is therefore particularly suitable if you have an even connection with both hands and are able to ride your horse through turns primarily with thigh and weight aids.

In general, the softer the bar, the softer the action. If the bar bit is yielding and flexible, it is also recommended for more sensitive horses that occasionally tense up and become impermeable. If it is rigid and hard, you can use it for strong horses that pull against the bit more often.
