Metalab Flexi Medium Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham bit

Ideal for channeling the energy of powerful horses and/or those high-spirited, the Metalab Flexi Medium Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham promotes clear contact while remaining gentle.

Featuring the revolutionary new Flexi bit concept, it provides a perfect balance between control for the rider and comfort for the horse.

This 2-ring bit is made from ASTM304 stainless steel, a high-quality material known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, and coated with PU EnviroGreen, a strong, durable, and eco-friendly material.

Its straight, flexible-sided barrel remains rigid in the mouth which ensures a constant and symmetrical contact while freeing the palate and avoiding tongue pinching.

Featuring a half-moon center piece, the Metalab Flexi Medium Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham prevents the horse from slipping its tongue over the bit.

With the flexibility of its ends, the barrel of the Metalab Flexi Medium Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham:

• is less harsh on the bars of the mouth.
• ensures a soft contact.
• reduces the risk of harm to the horse's mouth corners.

The Metalab Flexi bits are less cold in the mouth and are generally better accepted by horses.

Being less harsh, they help in relaxing the mouth and ensure a pleasant contact for the horse.

Functioning as a lever, the short cheeks of the Metalab Flexi Medium Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham have a more moderate lowering effect compared to the long cheeks of the Metalab Flexi Medium Long Cheek Half Moon Pelham bit.

The adjustment of the curb chain can alter the bit's severity.

The curb chain should be placed flat, making contact, and allowing a 45° angle between the branches and the mouth's axis.

Using a curb chain guard is recommended to protect the sensitive bone of the lower jaw.
