Abbey Baby Pelham Waterford - 16mm

Product description

Abbey Baby Pelham Waterford

The Abbey Baby Pelham Waterford is a pelham bit with a flexible Waterford mouthpiece that adapts to the shape of the horse’s mouth, ensuring even pressure distribution. This bit combines the leverage action of a pelham with the unique Waterford design, making it suitable for riders who require extra control without excessive rigidity in the horse’s mouth.

What is a Baby Pelham?

A baby pelham is a variation of the pelham bit with short shanks. The shorter shanks provide a milder leverage effect compared to longer pelhams. This bit can be ridden with two reins or with one rein in combination with a pelham connector (rounding) or pelham strap.

Waterford mouthpiece

The Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links that move freely in all directions. This design provides:

• even pressure distribution in the mouth;
• reduced ability for the horse to lean or take hold of the bit;
• flexibility for subtle and precise communication.

What is this bit suitable for?

This bit is ideal for riders who:

• are looking for increased control through leverage;
• want a bit that adapts flexibly to the horse’s mouth;
• choose a Waterford mouthpiece for balanced pressure distribution.
