This high-quality Pelham Baby double snaffle bit with removable shanks and leverage effect is made of solid Cuprigan with stainless steel rings. Cuprigan is an alloy of 89% copper, 7% aluminium, 3% iron and 1% zinc. The material's oxidation process spreads a pleasant smell and taste. The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a smooth, even pressure distribution. The combination of Cuprigan's design and unique composition help stimulate chewing and salivation, resulting in a delicate bond with the horse's sensitive mouth. The upward-pointing prongs with a ring are turned slightly outwards, ensuring optimum freedom for the horse's head. The bit has a lively action in the mouth. The barrel thickness is 14 mm and the length of the prongs is 102 mm. Includes curb chain.
A Pelham bit can be used with Pelham rings and single reins as well as double reins. The bit is particularly suitable for powerful, spirited horses. The leverage effect helps to flex the horse's neck; the longer the shanks, the sharper the action.
On a double ring bit, the barrel is in three parts. The central part of the barrel lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than with a single curl bit. The thicker the central part, the greater the pressure on the tongue.
