Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Shires Double Jointed Sweet Iron Pelham work, and what is its level of severity?

The Pelham bit provides significant control by applying pressure to multiple points: the poll, corners of the mouth, bars, tongue, and chin groove. While Pelhams can offer a strong action, the double-jointed mouthpiece of the Shires #523 is key to mitigating the "nutcracker" action found in single-jointed bits. This design aims to distribute pressure more evenly and gently across the horse's mouth, promoting a softer response rather than a harsh one.

How does this bit encourage salivation and acceptance in my horse?

The sweet iron mouthpiece is designed to oxidize naturally, creating a pleasant, sweet taste in your horse's mouth. This encourages increased salivation, which helps to soften the mouth and promote greater acceptance of the bit. Furthermore, the integrated copper ribs subtly prevent the horse from leaning or "hanging" on the bit, thereby enhancing overall acceptance and responsiveness.

What are the specific comfort benefits of the double-jointed mouthpiece design?

The double-jointed mouthpiece is a crucial feature for your horse's comfort. Unlike single-jointed bits that can create a harsh "nutcracker" effect, pinching the tongue and bars, this design allows the bit to conform more naturally and gently to the contours of the horse's mouth. This results in more even pressure distribution, reducing potential discomfort and encouraging the horse to be softer and more relaxed in its mouth.

What materials is the Shires Double Jointed Sweet Iron Pelham made from, and how durable is it?

This Pelham bit combines the best of both worlds: a sweet iron mouthpiece for its taste-promoting oxidation properties, and durable, rust-resistant stainless steel for the cheek pieces. This combination ensures optimal comfort for your horse while guaranteeing the bit's longevity, ease of cleaning, and ability to withstand the rigors of regular use.
