The 2240 Pelham double broken combines a double-jointed mouthpiece with a leverage action via upper and lower branches to exert control on the bars, chin and poll. Its stainless steel build is tasteless and odorless, ensuring comfortable contact.

Description

2240 Baby Pelham Double Jointed

The Baby Pelham provides leverage on the bars, chin, and poll. When the rider tightens the reins, the upper branch moves forward, affecting the poll, while the lower branch tilts backward, applying pressure on the mouth and chin.

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars.

A Pelham should always be used with caution and is not intended for horses that already show issues with basic training.

Note on Proper Use

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly, especially bits with leverage should be used with care. An incorrect size can also be painful for the horse. Please feel free to contact us with questions about size and fitting, or read more here about choosing the right size and proper fitting in the horse's mouth.

Size Guide

Measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer, string, or dowel between the corners of the lips (at the position where the bit will sit), mark the ends, then measure the distance.

The bit width should be such that the rings rest just outside (or very slightly beyond) the lip corners—if the bit is too narrow, it will pinch; too wide, it will shift side to side.

For loose ring bits, allow a little “play” so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.

When mounted in the bridle, the bit should sit such that there is 1–2 small wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (but this is not a perfect rule for all jointed bits)

The bit should lie on the bars (the toothless gap between incisors and molars) and not press into teeth or interfere with the palate.

Care Instructions

Washing
After each ride, rinse or wipe the bit to remove saliva, feed residues, or sweat. Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral detergent or saddle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal surface and reduce the bit’s longevity.

Drying
Once cleaned, dry the bit thoroughly with a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not expose the bit to direct sunlight, and never place it on or near heat sources such as heaters or radiators.

Storage
Store your bit in a dry, well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. For best results, keep bits individually or padded to prevent metal parts from rubbing or scratching each other. Avoid leaving the bit attached to the bridle for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.

Guidance

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse.
The 2240 Pelham is a leverage bit and should only be used by experienced riders. Because it applies pressure to the poll, bars, and chin chain, smooth, controlled hands are essential. Use as a tool for horses that become strong or unresponsive; ensure proper fitting and monitor the horse’s comfort and response.
