Metalab Flexi Soft Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham bit

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

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

This Pelham bit is crafted from ASTM304 stainless steel, a high-quality material noted for its exceptional corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, and coated with PU EnviroGreen, robust, durable, and eco-friendly.

Thanks to the flexibility of its mouthpiece, the Metalab Flexi Soft Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham:

• is gentler on the horse's mouth bars.
• ensures a soft contact.
• minimizes the risk of injury at the corners of the horse's mouth.

With a central half-moon shaped piece, the Metalab Flexi Soft Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham prevents the horse from getting its tongue over the bit.

Being less cold in the horse's mouth, Metalab's Flexi bits are generally more readily accepted by horses.

Less harsh, they promote a relaxed mouth and ensure a pleasant contact for the horse.

Acting as a lever, the short cheeks of the Metalab Flexi Soft Short Cheek Half Moon Pelham provide a more moderate lowering effect compared to the long cheeks of the Metalab Flexi Soft Long Cheek Half Moon Pelham.

The adjustment of the curb chain allows for varied bit severity.

The curb chain should be positioned flat, in contact, and allow a 45° angle between the cheeks and the mouth's axis.

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