Sprenger Pelham Hard Rubber Stainless Steel Bar 16mm

Sprenger Pelham Hard Rubber Stainless Steel Bar 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-strength 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 test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Pelham Hard Rubber Stainless Steel Bar 16mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

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 require clear influence in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

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

Bit Material

Rubber

Rubber as a bit material is generally somewhat softer than plastic. Rubber bits are usually very flexible and soft. Due to the slightly rougher surface structure, a so-called "eraser effect" can occur in horses with insufficient saliva production, where the rubber begins to chafe slightly in the mouth.
