beris Short Pelham with Tongue Port Bar, Competition Horse Bit, soft 14 cm

beris Short Pelham with Tongue Port Bar – more room for the tongue, more control

The beris short Pelham with tongue port bar is a classic Pelham bit in a modern, refined design for horses that are sensitive to conventional mouthpieces. The distinctive, flattened shape of the port gives your horse's tongue optimum room. Many horses respond with noticeably improved suppleness and increased chewing – a clear sign of relaxed work on the bit.

The design is particularly effective for so-called tongue players that try to get their tongue over the bit: the port effectively prevents this, creating more calm in the mouth. The classic Pelham action works on the mouth, lower jaw and poll when the rein is applied – depending on the shank length (5 cm or 7.5 cm), you can finely adjust the strength of the aid. With a port height of 30 mm, the bit is fully permitted under LPO rules, making it suitable for the dedicated leisure rider as well as for competition use – for example with horses that struggle to flex at the poll, "hot" horses, or in critical situations such as jump-offs.
