Understanding the Double Jointed Pelham
The Double Jointed Pelham is ideal for stronger horses that benefit from the activation of the curb rein, which applies pressure on the bars, chin, and poll to promote correct head carriage. The small ring above the curb can be used for a lip strap, enhancing stability during use.

Why Choose a Double Jointed Pelham?
The Double Jointed Pelham with Copper Lozenge is designed for experienced riders seeking a bit that offers both control and comfort. This bit distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, reducing the nutcracker effect typical of single-jointed bits. The copper lozenge encourages salivation, promoting acceptance of the bit.
For those interested in alternative designs, consider our Brass Alloy Full Cheek Snaffle with Lozenge, which offers different pressure dynamics.
Technical Specifications
Made from durable stainless steel, this bit includes a copper lozenge and can be used with two reins or roundings attached to a single rein. Note that this bit is not dressage legal.
Care Instructions
To maintain your Double Jointed Pelham, rinse it under a tap after each use to remove saliva and debris. Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean joins and hinges, then allow it to dry naturally. This routine ensures longevity and hygiene.
