Product description

Characteristics Poponcini Bits

• Poponcini bits are characterized by having an extremely soft mouthpiece and guarantee optimal comfort for the sensitive horse's mouth.
• The shape of the mouthpiece allows a horse to close its mouth properly, which means that it will relax more quickly and be much calmer with its head and tongue.
• A Poponcini bit is formed in Italy by a metal wire, covered with plastic, and a brass bush at the ends. A non-toxic, anti-allergic silicone layer is poured over this.
• Poponcini bits made of this soft material are also called the HARMONY line.

Bits made of this type of soft material have a shorter life than bits from metal.

PLEASE NOTE: Because Poponcini bits are so soft, we can NOT give any WARRANTY on these bits!

Description of pelham:

• A pelham is a bit with a curb chain and shanks, which gives pressure behind the ears and creates leverage.
• A short-shanked pelham is also called baby pelham, and a long-shanked pelham is a common pelham.
• The length of the shanks and the chin strap or curb chain determine the strength of the impact.
  The longer the shanks, the sharper the effect.
• A pelham can be used with 2 reins; The one rein on the top ring for a soft grip
  and the other rein on the bottom ring for pelham leverage.
• You can also use one rein by means of a connecting strap (Bridge), to which the rein is attached.
• The use of a pelham makes it easier to set a horse deeply and is often used with stronger horses.
• The pelham is not suitable for inexperienced riders or horses, this bit can work quite strongly.
