Bombers Pelham Bit

The composite material warms up much faster than cold metal, which is often more inviting for sensitive horses. It also has a sweet taste that encourages salivation and acceptance of the bit, helping to reduce tension in the mouth.

The swivel mechanism allows the cheekpieces to move independently of the mouthpiece. This prevents the bit from pinching or twisting uncomfortably when you use the reins, allowing your horse to find a more natural, relaxed position.

The port creates a small arch in the center of the mouthpiece, which provides essential relief for the horse's tongue. This is particularly helpful for horses that dislike direct pressure on the tongue or tend to toss their heads to avoid it.

Yes, you can use a single pair of reins with a converter strap attached to both the snaffle and curb rings. However, the dual rein attachments are designed to give you more precise control, allowing you to switch between direct contact and leverage as needed.

The Pelham design provides moderate poll pressure and leverage, which can help encourage a horse to lift their front end and engage their hindquarters. It is a useful tool for refining communication, but it should be used with a gentle hand.

The blue sweet iron is designed to oxidize over time, which is a normal process that creates the sweet taste horses enjoy. Simply rinse the bit after each ride to keep it clean, and avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could strip the finish.
