Fast signals - practical on the course

Direct action on the tongue and additional handling via the horse's poll? A Pelham offers all of this. Here, the mouthpiece is firmly connected to the side element, which means that the rein action is transferred directly to the tongue. To ensure that the Pelham lies as quietly as possible in the horse's mouth and does not slip, you should make sure that the side parts are close to the corner of the mouth.

Long or short suits?

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.

Best possible control

when you need them

What exactly is a leverage effect - and how does it develop in the horse's mouth? If you choose a bit with a leverage effect, the pressure created by the rein action is distributed over several points of action on the horse's head - for example the poll. If, for example, you need the greatest possible control on a course, this effect can be useful to stay in communication with your horse even if it wants to pull away. But beware: riders should always be careful never to exert too much or too long an influence on the horse's poll. That's why we only recommend bits with leverage for experienced riders with controlled hand action.

Leverage effect

A sure instinct is required here! Because bits with leverage allow the rider to exert pressure on the horse's sensitive neck, we only recommend these models for experienced riders. You should have a balanced seat that is independent of the hand and be able to guide the reins sensitively. If your horse generally tends to have its head too low or withdraws downwards from the aids, bits with a leverage effect tend to be counterproductive. They are much more suitable for horses that withdraw from the rider's aids by lifting upwards strongly.

You'll get the hang of it

A chin chain is primarily there to limit the pressure on the poll. It also counteracts excessive downward movement of the horse's head. It should be buckled in such a way that an angle of around 30 to 45 degrees is possible between the cleft of your horse's mouth and the underline. In addition, a chin chain pad can be useful to provide soft padding for the chain. In show jumping competitions, such a pad is mandatory up to medium** level.

A question of

Pliability

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.

Softie or tough guy?

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.

Stability when you need it

Tongue freedom

With all the different designs and shapes of bar bits, it's easy to lose track, isn't it? Tongue freedom in particular is an important point that you should consider when choosing a bit. Bar bits with tongue clearance take the pressure off the middle of the tongue and the aids act more on the edges of the tongue. In bar bits without tongue clearance, the pressure is distributed over the entire tongue. However, as the tongue is not free, pressure is already exerted on the tongue without the rein being applied. Some horses have a particularly thick and fleshy tongue. They benefit from greater tongue freedom.
