Velari Leather Pelham Single Jointed
Discover the Velari Pelham with Leather Single-Jointed Mouthpiece, a sophisticated bit designed for nuanced communication and exceptional comfort. This versatile combination offers riders precise control through mild leverage, while its natural leather mouthpiece promotes a relaxed and accepting connection. It's an excellent choice for horses that thrive on clear aids and a gentle, inviting feel. The Pelham cheekpiece features elegantly short shanks, delivering regulated, mild leverage that is easy for riders to fine-tune. Its design allows for the use of two sets of reins or a bit converter, granting riders the flexibility to tailor their aids precisely. The upper ring securely connects to the bridle's cheekpiece, while the lower ring provides the leverage point, and the curb chain further stabilises the bit and distributes pressure evenly for optimal comfort and clear aids. Crafted from natural leather, the mouthpiece of this bit transforms with use. As your horse chews and salivates, the leather gradually softens, becoming supple and comfortable in their mouth. The inherent taste of the leather encourages salivation, fostering relaxation and suppleness. Its flexible nature makes this mouthpiece particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive mouths, inviting a calm and consistent contact. The single-jointed mouthpiece ensures direct and clear communication between horse and rider. When the rein is engaged, the joint forms a distinct V-shape, efficiently distributing pressure across the bars of the mouth while simultaneously relieving the tongue at its centre. This design is especially well-suited for horses with a higher palate. Many horses appreciate the straightforward, uncomplicated feel of a single joint, particularly those who prefer a defined point of action and a consistent contact. Ideal for:
- Horses that prefer a soft, natural, and inviting mouthpiece
- Sensitive-mouthed horses needing encouragement to salivate and relax
- Horses with a higher palate who benefit from tongue relief
- Riders seeking mild leverage for fine-tuning aids
- Riders who appreciate clear, direct communication
- Riders who are comfortable with regular bit maintenance
Care & Use
Rinse the bit with lukewarm water after every ride and dry it 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. Disclaimer
