Beris Pelham Short with Tongue Port

The Beris Pelham Short with tongue arch is an anatomical bit featuring a special flattened arch that provides extra room for the tongue. This allows the horse to relax more easily, often resulting in greater suppleness and increased chewing activity. The design also prevents horses from putting their tongue over the bit, making it particularly suitable for so-called “tongue rollers.” Horses that are sensitive to pressure on the tongue or respond to it with resistance, such as head shaking, will often accept this bit more readily.

The Pelham system also provides extra control through leverage action: depending on the length of the shanks (5 or 7.5 cm), it creates stronger and more direct action on the mouth, lower jaw, and poll. This makes the bit suitable for strong or forward-going horses, horses that have difficulty accepting the contact, or situations in which clear, direct aids are required.

The bit is fitted with attachment hooks for a curb chain (curb chain not included). The mouthpiece is made from beris’ smooth, horse-friendly plastic, ensuring a stable position in the mouth and high acceptance.
