Pelham Tom Thumb Pletcher Teardrop Copper Bit

Individually handmade, the Tom Thumb Teardrop Pelham bit is engineered after the Peter Pletcher snaffle. This bit is hand crafted from start to finish using high quality copper and stainless steel. The use of copper in the mouth encourages bit acceptance and mouth moisture helping to keep your horse soft. Copper also warms quickly to the mouth creating a pleasant feel. The shorter shank on the Tom Thumb (Baby) cheeks work great when just a little leverage is needed. Ideal for strong, fussy or forward horses, this bit helps to lighten the front end an encourage self carriage.

 
Tom Thumb Pelham cheeks with solid copper teardrop shaped cannons and stainless steel center links. This lightweight bit is anatomically designed for the horse’s mouth. The center links allow for precise communication on each side of the mouth. The Teardrop Tom Thumb Pelham bit is custom made to our specifications and hand polished with a smooth finish. Stainless hooks & curb chain included. 

Ideally the pelham bit should be used with two sets of reins. The first being your standard 5/8" while the shank rein is typically a thinner, smooth "pelham rein". Some clients choose to utilize bit converters for their pelham. They often combine the dual action into one rein, thereby making it easier for the rider. 

Shank – 2.5″ 
Rings – 2.25″
