Pelham INGLES Sweet Iron Mullen Mouth with stainless steel side panels and sliding cheek

Description

Pelham made of stainless steel with optimised Mullen Mouth mouthpiece made of Sweet Iron & sliding cheek

High quality Pelham with stainless steel sides in English style and optimized Mullen Mouth mouthpiece with sliding cheek from Sweet Iron. The vertical play of the mouthpiece promotes the horse's chewing activity. This facilitates the loosening of the jaw, neck and thus the entire horse's back. The optimized and anatomically shaped Mullen Mouth ported mouthpiece is gladly accepted by many horses, because it lies very evenly on the tongue and is cushioned by it. In particular, horses with very thick and fleshy tongues benefit from the curved over the entire length mouthpiece. For horses with sensitive mouth angles, we recommend the use of bit guards due to the movable connection between side piece and mouthpiece .

The Pelham with sliding cheek is made by Lopez in Spain.

Effect & use of the bit

Compared to the classic Pelham with fixed side pieces, the Pelham with sliding cheek unfolds its effect somewhat delayed: when the reins are accepted, the mouthpiece first slides upwards before the effect on the mouth, lower jaw and neck sets in. The sliding cheek allows the horse to move the mouthpiece rhythmically up and down. This helps mouthy horses and horses with very little mouth activity to relax their jaws better. This also loosens the neck and ultimately the horse's entire body more easily.

Through natural oxidation processes and the formation of noble rust, the burnished iron of the mouthpiece stimulates saliva formation.

We recommend using only two pairs of reins for precise aids. In this way it is possible to differentiate between bar and lever action when riding, in contrast to the use of Pelham straps.

The right size for the Pelham

Under "Size guide" (see above) you will find the real dimensions of the mouthpiece. Please note that the side pieces of the pelham should be close to the corners of your horse's mouth. If your horse is between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the smaller size.

Care instructions for burnished iron

Rust forms on traditional burnished products or product components after some time. This is due to natural oxidation processes and is not a quality defect, but an essential and desired characteristic of this material. To maintain the dark color, it is recommended to occasionally rub the parts concerned with a cloth soaked in olive oil.
