Velari Leather Pelham Double Jointed
Velari’s Pelham with a double-jointed leather mouthpiece offers an exceptional blend of sophisticated control and gentle comfort. This versatile bit is designed for riders seeking nuanced communication and horses that thrive with balanced pressure and a natural, soft feel in their mouth. Experience the refined difference that supports both performance and equine well-being.
The Pelham cheekpiece features elegantly short shanks, providing a mild degree of leverage that is remarkably easy for riders to regulate and apply with precision. Its unique design allows for the use of two sets of reins, or a bit converter, granting riders the ultimate flexibility to fine-tune their aids for various situations. The upper ring securely attaches to the bridle’s cheekpiece, while the lower ring serves as the leverage point. For enhanced stability and even pressure distribution, a curb chain can also be thoughtfully incorporated.

Crafted from premium leather, this mouthpiece offers a truly unique experience for your horse. As your horse naturally chews and salivates, the leather gradually softens, conforming to their mouth for unparalleled comfort. The subtle, natural taste of the leather encourages salivation, inviting your horse to remain supple and relaxed throughout your ride. This particular mouthpiece is an excellent choice for horses with sensitive mouths. Regular care is essential to maintain its pristine condition; treat it as needed with olive oil or sunflower oil and always inspect for any signs of wear. Remember to position the bit so the stitching faces forward when fitted.
The double-jointed mouthpiece is meticulously engineered to distribute pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, delivering a consistently smooth, stable feel. This design is particularly beneficial for horses that respond well to balanced pressure and a bit that gracefully follows the natural contours of their mouth. Furthermore, its construction is ideal for horses with a lower palate, as the double-jointed nature significantly reduces upward movement towards the roof of the mouth, ensuring superior comfort. Ideal for:
- Horses with sensitive mouths
- Horses that prefer a soft, natural feel
- Horses that benefit from balanced pressure and a stable bit
- Horses with a lower palate
- Riders seeking flexible and nuanced control
- Riders looking to encourage suppleness and relaxation
Care & Use
Rinse the bit with lukewarm water after every ride and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. To keep the leather in optimal condition, treat it regularly with olive oil or sunflower oil and inspect it for signs of wear. Store the bit in a dry place. Make sure the bit is fitted correctly: the star should be on the left-hand side and the Velari logo on the right-hand side.
