Waldhausen Pelham Bit, Jointed, Stainless Steel 16 mm, incl. Curb Chain, solid 10.5 cm

Waldhausen Pelham Bit, Jointed – Precise Control for Experienced Riders

The Waldhausen Pelham bit, jointed, combines the action of a snaffle with the leverage of a curb bit, giving experienced riders precise and differentiated control. Thanks to the short shank length of the jointed mouthpiece, rein aids are transmitted directly – ideal for sensitive yet strong-willed horses in training and competition.

Made from durable stainless steel, this bit is supplied complete with a curb chain that limits leverage action and encourages a steady, calm contact. Ride it with two pairs of reins for maximum differentiation, or use a pelham strap with a single rein for simpler everyday handling in the yard, arena or at competitions.

FAQ:

How should the curb chain be adjusted?
The curb chain should be fitted so that, with contact taken up, the angle between the lower shank and the mouth is roughly 45 degrees, keeping the leverage action controlled.

Can I ride this pelham with just one pair of reins?
Yes, a pelham strap allows the bit to be ridden with a single pair of reins, though the action is less refined than with two pairs.

Which horses suit this pelham?
It suits well-schooled, strong-willed or sensitive horses that benefit from direct, precise rein contact, ridden by experienced hands.
