Quick signals - practical in the course

Do you need direct action on the tongue and additional control over the horse's neck? A pelham offers all this. Here, the mouthpiece is fixed to the side element, which means that the rein action is transferred directly to the tongue. To ensure that the pelham lies as still as possible in the horse's mouth and does not slip, you should pay close attention to the fact that the side parts are close to the angle of the mouth.

Long or short shanks?

In our product range, we generally distinguish between long shanks, each seven centimeters long, and short shanks, each measuring five centimeters. While short shanks put less pressure on the neck and lower jaw, your reins reach the horse faster and more directly. Longer suits can create more pressure on the neck, but because of the longer lever, the effect is not as direct and pronounced.

the best possible control

when you need it

What exactly is a leverage effect - and how does it occur in the horse's mouth? If you choose a bit with a lever action, the pressure created by the rein action is distributed over several points of action on the horse's head - for example, on the neck. If, for example, you need the greatest possible control on the course, this effect can be useful in order to keep in communication with your horse even if he wants to ignore your aids.It is very important to note that these types of bits are only designed to be used with educated hands and specific riding situations.

Leverage

An educated & experienced hand is necessary here! Because leverage bits allow the rider to apply pressure to the horse's sensitive neck, we recommend these models only for experienced riders. You should have a balanced seat and independent hand, If your horse tends to have a rather low head posture or resists the aids downward, bits with lever action are rather counterproductive. They are more suitable for horses that evade the rider's aids by strongly lifting upwards.

You'll get the hang of it

The main purpose of a curb chain is to limit the pressure on the neck. It also counteracts too much downward movement of the horse's head. It should be attached in such a way that an angle of about 30 to 45 degrees is possible between the cleft of your horse's mouth and the undercarriage. In addition, a curb chain pad can be useful to provide soft padding for the chain. In show jumping competitions, such a pad is mandatory up to class M**.

A question of

flexibility

No matter whether sensitive or strong: mullen mouth bits are suitable for a variety of horses, depending on the design. The selection is huge and depending on the model, the mode of action can vary enormously. But wait a minute: So how do you know if a bar bit might be suitable for you and your horse? Basically, if your horse is difficult to turn or bend, this bit will not offer enough lateral support to communicate effectively & strongly enough. A mullen mouth 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?

Generally, the softer the mullen mouth, the softer the action. If the mullen mouth bit is soft and flexible, it is recommended for more sensitive horses that may occasionally tense up and become bit shy. If it is rigid and hard, you can use it for strong horses that pull against the bit more often.
