Centaur Eco Pure Tom Thumb Pelham Mullen Mouth Bit

A solid mullen mouthpiece creates a continuous, stable surface across the horse's tongue and bars. This eliminates the 'nutcracker' effect found in jointed bits, which can pinch the tongue or roof of the mouth, making it a gentler option for horses with sensitive mouths.

Yes, this bit is constructed from high-quality, durable rubber designed to withstand regular use. However, because rubber is softer than metal, it is best suited for horses that do not have a habit of chewing aggressively on the bit.

The Tom Thumb Pelham features shorter shanks, which provide a milder leverage action compared to longer-shanked Pelhams. It offers the rider more control than a snaffle while remaining relatively soft, making it a good transition piece for horses needing slightly more guidance.

This bit is available in sizes 5 and 5.5. If your horse is between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up to the 5.5 to ensure there is no pinching at the corners of the mouth.

Yes, the Pelham design is intended to be used with two sets of reins. The snaffle rein attaches to the large ring for direct contact, while the curb rein attaches to the bottom shank to engage the leverage and curb chain.
