Ideal for channeling the energy of powerful horses and/or those high-spirited, the Metalab Flexi Soft Short Cheek Pelham promotes a clear contact while staying gentle.
Benefiting from the innovative and revolutionary concept of the Flexi bits, it offers 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 known for its excellent corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, and coated with PU EnviroGreen, strong, durable, and eco-friendly.
Thanks to the flexibility of its mouthpiece, the Metalab Flexi Soft Short Cheek Pelham:
is gentler on the mouth bars of the horse.
ensures a soft contact.
reduces the risk of injury at the corners of the horse's mouth.
Less cold in the mouth, the Metalab Flexi bits are generally better accepted by horses.
Less harsh, they promote the relaxation of the mouth and ensure a pleasant contact for the horse.
Acting as a lever, the short cheeks of the Pelham Metalab Flexi Soft Short Cheek Pelham have a more moderate lowering effect than those with long cheeks.
The adjustment of the curb chain allows for variations in the bit's severity.
The curb chain should lie flat, in contact, and allow a 45° angle between the branches and the axis of the mouth.
Using a curb chain guard is recommended to protect the sensitive bone of the lower jaw.

My horse is so grateful! I'm on a green horse and I wanted to be sure if he made some crazy moves that zi didn't hurt his mouth with a bit. One thing I would change is to add a center ring so it can be used for ground work without having to change sides. Otherwise is is very soft leather and well built.
I love this bit! My pony is sensitive and I had him in a rubber bit before this. He would make a loud squeegee sound in the rubber bit, which then seemed to distract both the pony and his rider! This much quieter and they both seem more focused! And yes, his teeth are floated regularly!
