CalmBlue Baby Pelham

Sale price$94.90 CAD

Size:
In stock

The shape, the material and the features of the CalmBlue tongue relief mouthpiece are all centered around creating acceptance, calmness and enhanced communication while minimising any unnecessary pressure.

The Calmblue mouthpiece shape encourages free movement of the tongue and redistributes pressure away from the center of the tongue that many bits with classic link designs create.

The cannons of the bit move independently to create a precision in communication between the rider and the horse. 

The CalmBlue mouthpiece is made of sweet iron which releases a sweet taste as it gets in contact with saliva that many horses prefer.

The copper roller on the barrel allows the bit to glide up and down the tongue as reins are engaged more freely without creating additional pressure points.

Pelham cheekpiece creates a curb bit that applies pressure both on the poll and the back of the chin through the use of curb chain (included) or a leather chin strap. Baby Pelham is a variation with shorter shanks at only 50mm which create smaller leverage effect than traditional 70mm shanks.

This bit is typically used for horses advanced in their training who require the precision the curb bits offer.

Must be used with a converter or a double rein.

Mouthpiece thickness: 10mm

Lower Shank Length: 50mm

Please note that sweet iron bits oxidise naturally and the blue parts will over time develop a thin layer of rust and turn brown/grey. This is by design as the "rust" is what creates the taste so many horses love.

Calmblue Mouthpiece

The shape, the material and the features of the CalmBlue tongue relief mouthpiece are all centered around creating acceptance, calmness and enhanced communication while minimising any unnecessary pressure. The Calmblue mouthpiece shape encourages free movement of the tongue, minimises any pinching and redistributes pressure away from the center of the tongue that many bits with classic link designs create.

Baby Pelham Cheekpiece

Pelham combines the action of the double bridle into a single bit amplifying the action of the mouthpiece and provding additional pressure and lift. It offers a high degree of precision and control by exerting pressure on the lips, the chin and somewhat on the poll. Pelhams can be used with a double rein to separate the lever action of the curb and the snaffle as in the double bridle, or a converter which would mediate the action between the snaffle and the curb rein to somewhere in the middle. The curb chain must be fitted so that shanks cannot move past 45 degrees upon engagement of the reins for correct bit action.

Sweet Iron

Sweet iron is a blue iron alloy designed to oxidize over time, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation. As it rusts, it develops a patina that enhances flavor, which many horses find appealing. While sweet iron promotes a moist mouth, it does wear over time and requires maintenance. To care for it, wipe the bit after use to prevent excessive rust buildup, store it in a dry place when not in use, and scrub gently with a cloth or mild abrasive if excessive rust forms.

Very comfortable

I have purchased many bits from Agadors. My horses really like the mouthpiece in them. This Pelham is no different. It’s his jumping bit at the moment and he’s very comfortable and happy in it. Highly recommend these bits and excellent customer service goes along with them!!
