KORSTEEL Jointed Pelham Bit

The dual-rein system allows you to switch between two levels of control. The top rein acts like a standard snaffle for direct communication, while the bottom rein engages the curb chain, providing leverage and poll pressure when you need more stopping power or refinement.

When you pull on the reins, the single joint causes the bit to fold slightly, pressing against the bars of the horse's mouth and the tongue. It is a more traditional action that offers clear, distinct signals, though it is sharper than a double-jointed or ported bit.

Because of the nutcracker action and the leverage provided by the curb chain, this bit is generally better suited for horses that need more guidance or control. If your horse is extremely sensitive, you might prefer a bit with a milder mouthpiece or less leverage.

Yes, as a standard Pelham bit, it is designed to be used with a curb chain to function correctly. You will need to ensure the chain is adjusted properly to prevent the shanks from rotating too far back.

This bit is a versatile tool often used for transitioning horses into a curb bit or for riders who need extra control during jumping or technical training. It is particularly effective for horses that tend to get strong or lean on the bit.
