The Hollow Mouth French Link Pelham Bit combines a lightweight hollow mouthpiece with a French link for even pressure distribution and a Pelham design that offers multiple rein options. This bit is ideal for horses needing a light feel in the mouth with adjustable leverage, allowing riders to control the degree of influence based on their horse's needs.
Key Features of the Hollow Mouthpiece:
- Lightweight Feel: The hollow mouthpiece keeps the bit lighter in the horse’s mouth, which can reduce pressure and make it more comfortable, particularly for sensitive horses.
- Gentle Communication: The hollow design helps create a softer feel, allowing for smooth and consistent contact that is less likely to cause resistance.
- Balanced Design: This mouthpiece provides a steady, gentle connection, especially beneficial for horses that prefer lighter pressure.
French Link Features:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The French link’s central plate lies flat on the tongue, evenly distributing pressure across the tongue and bars, without the nutcracker effect seen in single-jointed bits.
- Independent Movement: The double-jointed structure allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving the rider finer control and reducing pressure points for greater comfort.
- Encourages Relaxation: The French link’s gentle action makes it easier for horses to accept the bit, promoting a relaxed and responsive connection between horse and rider.
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.
