The Korsteel Jointed Pelham Tom Thumb Bit combines the direct action of a snaffle with the added control of a curb, offering versatile communication for experienced riders. The shorter Tom Thumb shanks provide milder leverage than a traditional Pelham, creating a more moderate curb action while maintaining effective control. The single-jointed mouthpiece applies pressure to the tongue, bars, and palate, delivering clear, responsive rein aids.
Suitable for horses that benefit from both direct and leverage rein action, this bit is ideal for riders seeking balanced control with a gentler Pelham design.
Features:
- Durable stainless steel construction
- Combines snaffle and curb actions in one bit
- Short Tom Thumb shanks provide moderate leverage
- Single-jointed mouthpiece delivers clear communication
- Compatible with double reins or Pelham converters
Note: Pelham bits use leverage and are best suited for knowledgeable riders with educated hands. Proper adjustment of the curb chain and rein placement is essential for effective, humane communication.
