We love this bit from Jake Adams for the versatile rein options and balanced leverage!

The Single Joint Leather Covered Pelham Bit has a stainless steel core wrapped in leather, providing strength while offering a softer surface than a bare metal bit. The leather naturally softens slightly when moistened, providing a gentler surface that many horses with sensitive mouths accept more easily.

Flat, non-abrasive stitching keeps the mouthpiece smooth, reducing the risk of irritation. Pelham cheekpieces allow for curb and poll pressure when needed, offering additional leverage while maintaining steady contact. Ideal for horses that require leverage but benefit from a leather covered mouthpiece rather than a standard metal bit.

Key Features of the Leather-Covered Mouthpiece

• Softens with Saliva: The leather covering the bit becomes more pliable when moistened, offering a gentler surface for horses that prefer softer mouthpieces and encouraging better acceptance in sensitive mouths.
• Durable Core with Leather Overlay: A solid metal core wrapped in high-quality leather combines strength with a softer feel compared to bare metal bits.
• Flat, Non-Abrasive Stitching: The stitching lies flush against the leather, reducing the chance of rubbing or irritation and keeping the mouthpiece comfortable for the horse.

Single Joint Features:

• Focused Contact: The single joint design concentrates pressure on the tongue and bars, creating clear communication between the horse and rider.
• Direct Function: This bit’s simple, direct action is ideal for horses that respond well to straightforward cues.
• Supports Engagement: With clear signals, the single joint encourages horses to stay focused on the rider’s aids, enhancing responsiveness and connection.

 Pelham Design Features:

• Versatile Rein Options: The Pelham design allows for multiple rein placements, offering the rider flexibility in how much leverage they want to apply based on their riding situation.
• Balanced Leverage: The shanks of the Pelham provide balanced leverage, giving riders the option to gently lift the horse when needed while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel.
• Encourages Responsiveness: Even with the added leverage, the Pelham design helps horses remain responsive and engaged, promoting better communication between horse and rider.
