Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the Shires Equestrian Double Jointed Copper Lozenge Pelham enhance communication and control?This Pelham bit ingeniously combines elements of both a snaffle and a curb, offering riders multifaceted control and leverage. The double-jointed mouthpiece with a copper lozenge is specifically designed to soften the "nutcracker" action often associated with single-jointed bits, enabling more precise and direct communication with your horse's mouth.What is the purpose of the copper lozenge, and is it solid copper?The copper lozenge is a key feature designed to encourage salivation and create warmth in the horse's mouth. This promotes a softer, more responsive mouth, enhancing bit acceptance. While highly effective, the lozenge is typically copper plated, not solid copper.Who is this bit suitable for, and how should its severity be understood?This Pelham is often chosen for horses that require more control, particularly those that are strong or tend to lean on the bit. Due to its leverage action, it is generally considered more severe than a simple snaffle. However, when used correctly with double reins by an experienced rider, it is considered humane and allows for nuanced communication. It is important to note that Pelham bits are generally not suitable for dressage competitions.What is the bit made of, and what are my options for using it?The Shires Pelham is crafted from durable, rust-resistant stainless steel, with a copper mouthpiece, ensuring long-lasting performance and easy cleaning. It offers versatile usage: you can use it with traditional double reins for distinct snaffle and curb actions, or with a bit converter (also known as Pelham roundings) for convenient single-rein use, adapting to various riding preferences and disciplines.Product DetailsModel: Shires Equestrian Double Jointed Copper Lozenge PelhamMouthpiece Thickness: 16mmCheek Heights: Available in 125mm, 130mm, 140mmMaterial: Stainless Steel with Copper Lozenge MouthpieceProduct Item Number: 529S/STEEL4.5Elevate your riding journey and provide your horse with superior comfort and control.
