The Stainless Steel Cherry Roller Pelham with Low Correction Port Bit is designed to encourage softness in the mouth while preventing horses from leaning on the bit or the forehand. The rotating cherry rollers keep the mouthpiece mobile, making it difficult for the horse to grip the bit or brace against the rider’s hands. The low correction port provides gentle tongue relief, reducing pressure while maintaining steady contact with the bars. The Pelham cheekpieces allow for adjustable rein placement, offering both direct action and leverage to refine balance and engagement.
Key Features of the Cherry Roller Mouthpiece:
- Discourages Grabbing and Leaning : The freely rotating rollers make it difficult for the horse to grip the bit, discouraging bracing or leaning. This encourages a lighter, more responsive feel in the hand.
- Promotes Relaxation : The movement of the rollers can increase salivation, which may help the horse stay more relaxed and accepting of the bit.
- Enhances Responsiveness : The rolling action keeps the mouthpiece mobile, making the horse more attentive to rein aids and reducing the likelihood of stiffness.
Key Features of the Low Correction Port:
- Moderate Tongue Relief : The low port design allows some space for the tongue while still maintaining contact, offering a balance between relief and control.
- Supports Balanced Head Carriage : The shape of the port encourages correct head positioning without excessive force, helping to refine the horse’s way of going.
- Controlled Pressure Distribution : The low port reduces tongue pressure while directing contact toward the bars and, when engaged, may apply slight pressure to the palate for refined rein influence.
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.
