Sprenger Pelham Bit double jointed - short shank

The SPRENGER Short Shank Double Jointed Pelham Bit exerts a simultaneous action on the tongue, neck, and lower jaw.

It offers enhanced control over jumps or on the flat, thanks to its lever effect intensified by the curb chain.

The curb chain adds extra pressure on the jaw; it's crucial to adjust it correctly (flat, in contact, allowing a 45° angle between the shanks and the mouth's axis).

The tightness of the curb chain determines the strength of the lever effect.

The short shanks ensure a gentler action than a bit with traditional shanks.

The SPRENGER Short Shank Double Jointed Pelham Bit should be used with pelham straps or two pairs of reins for greater precision.

Thanks to its double joint, this bit comfortably fits in the horse’s mouth without impacting the palate.

This bit is sold with the curb chain.

Barrel thickness: 16 mm
