The Twisted Copper Pelham with Dr. Bristol Link Bit combines a twisted copper mouthpiece for refined communication with a Dr. Bristol link for even pressure distribution. The Pelham design offers multiple rein options, allowing riders to adjust control and leverage, making it ideal for horses requiring clear guidance and balance.
Key Features of the Twisted Copper Mouthpiece:
- Enhanced Responsiveness: The twist in the mouthpiece creates additional contact points on the tongue and bars, encouraging quicker reactions to rein aids.
- Promotes Salivation: Copper encourages natural salivation, keeping the horse’s mouth soft and responsive.
- Designed for Skilled Riders: The sharper action of the twist is best suited for riders with educated hands.
Key Features of the Dr. Bristol Link:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The flat, angled link spreads pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, preventing pinching and discomfort.
- Improved Communication: The angled design provides a more refined feeling, helping horses respond promptly to riders’ guidance.
- Promotes Acceptance: The Dr. Bristol link encourages horses to accept the bit and maintain consistent contact.
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.
