Jointed Mouth Eggbutt Pelham Bit

A Pelham bit offers the versatility of both a snaffle and a curb bit in one mouthpiece. It allows you to use two sets of reins to switch between direct pressure for basic steering and leverage for more refined control or collection.

The fixed eggbutt cheeks are designed to prevent the bit from sliding through the mouth, which helps eliminate pinching at the corners of the lips. This creates a more stable feel for the horse and encourages consistent, steady contact.

The single joint creates a nutcracker effect, which applies pressure to the tongue, bars, and palate when the reins are engaged. This design is generally used to encourage responsiveness and clarity in your signals.

Because this bit uses a single-jointed design and leverage, it can be quite communicative. If your horse is particularly sensitive to palate pressure, you may want to consider if the nutcracker action is appropriate for their training level and mouth conformation.

This bit is crafted from stainless steel, which is durable, rust-resistant, and easy to clean. Simply rinse it with water after each ride to remove saliva and debris, and occasionally scrub it with a soft brush to keep the joints moving freely.
