Shires Double Jointed Copper Lozenge Pelham

The Jointed Pelhams With The Lozenge Or Peanut Link Are Relatively Gentle Pelhams Because There Is No Nutcracker Action From The Mouthpiece And Minimal Tongue Pressure Due To The Joint. The Lozenge Pelham Is Good For Horses That Need A Stronger Bit But Are Reluctant To Take A Contact In The Single Jointed Pelhams. Also The Angle Of The Elliptical Lozenge Means That It Lies Flat On The Tongue Rather Than Creating The Pressure Points That Can Result From A French Link Joint. The Copper Link Assists With Acceptance Of The Bit, Softness And Salivation. Pelham Bits Attempt The Same Results As A Double Bridle, But Using Only One Bit. They Work On The Points Of Control In The Mouth, Plus The Poll And Curb Groove. The Result Of Pressure On The Curb Groove, Is A Pivoting Action, Causing The Head To Tilt Into The Conventional ‘On The Bit’ Position.
