Description
This Pelham double snaffle features solid stainless steel shanks and a soft iron mouthpiece with a "sweet iron" coating (blue). The soft iron coating on the mouthpiece will stimulate salivation. When this material reacts with moisture, heat and air in an oxidation process, the surface rust has a sweet taste. This promotes acceptance of the bit. Eventually the blue color disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains.
The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a smooth, even pressure distribution. With a canon double break, the bit consists of three pieces, the middle of which lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than with a canon. The thicker the middle part, the greater the pressure on the tongue. canon thickness 14 mm. Rings 65 mm.
The longer the branches, the greater the leverage. Reins can be attached in different ways: a single rein on the middle or lower ring, a single or double rein with a Pelham bit. A Pelham bit is used with a curb chain. These bits have a lively action and are often used for tough horses or situations requiring more control, such as jumping or cross-country.
