Rotating Brass Pelham 5" x 5"

Designed specifically for the soft horse that needs its head slightly elevated and nose (head carriage) to come into a collect position. Works very well for those soft horses that bump the bit downwards when asking to collect up. The mouthpiece has a very spacious and comfortable port that rotates separately to the Pelham action ensuring that the tongue has minimal pressure - allowing the softer horses to work off the other pressure points of a Pelham.

This port and swivel combination works very well with any horses that don't enjoy tongue pressure.

Can be used with or without curb-chains.  Often a horse can remain in this bit without a curb chain if they are very soft.  We find a leather curb chain works very well with this bit.

Best Suits

• Soft horses or those with a tendency to push their nose into the ground when asked to collect up. This response can be some times described as snatching or diving into the bit.
• Horses that do not enjoy or respond well to tongue pressure
• For training and schooling horses that play well in gags (or other bits) as a change of pressure points in the mouth, which gives the most often used pressure points a rest.
