Nathe Pelham 20mm with flexible bar and long shanks

Nathe Pelham 20 mm with flexible mouthpiece and long shanks

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Nathe bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Nathe Pelham 20 mm bit with flexible mouthpiece and long shanks from the Nathe range in more detail:

The Nathe Pelham 20 mm bit with flexible mouthpiece and long shanks is made of plastic and equipped with Pelham side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, meaning flexible.

Bit thickness

Cheekpiece

Pelham

The Pelham is a popular bit with short or long shanks. When the reins are taken up, the bit acts on the mouth, lower jaw, and poll. Depending on the leverage of the shanks, a varying degree of strong and immediate bit angle in the mouth can be achieved. Possible use for horses that have difficulty going on the bit, for "hot" horses, or for horses that need clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Plastic

Food-grade plastic is used for bits, which means no plasticizers are used, and it is well tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can glide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva production.
