Composition: Stainless Steel cannons covered with leather and a French mouthpiece made of German Silver (65% copper, 23% zinc, 12% nickel: a relaxing and solid alloy). Leather Jump'In bits are very soft and comfortable for horses. Unlike stainless steel, sweet iron, or other alloys, leather prevents too cold contact.
Important note to our clients: leather bits are not guaranteed against bites even after the first use.
Effect: the Pelham bit is a great compromise between the bridle and the double bridle. It offers a lever action that is more or less strong, depending on the cheek's length, the curb chain adjustment, and how it is assembled. This bit causes the horse to give in at the neck and applies pressure to the mandibles.
Tips: Every Pelham bit can be used directly with two reins, with bit loops, or with four reins. Therefore, the curb chain action can be softened by using other curb chain types as leather or nylon ones. The cannon is covered with leather to prevent too cold contact in the horse's mouth and to offer more comfort.
Maintenance advice: rinse the bit after each use to prevent any residue deposit and to avoid your horse from feeling any discomfort. Oil the leather with a vegetable oil (Warning: do not use neatsfoot oil or any other synthetic oil) to keep a soft and nice contact for your horse.
