The Copper Dr. Bristol Pelham Bit is designed for riders who require precise control and the ability to influence their horse's head carriage with added leverage. This bit features a stainless steel mouthpiece paired with a copper Dr. Bristol link, which is angled at 45 degrees. This specific angle allows the link to lay flatter on the horse's tongue, ensuring a more even distribution of pressure, which helps to minimize discomfort. Traditional Dr. Bristol bits often have a 90-degree link, which can exert more concentrated pressure, but the 45-degree angle in this bit provides a gentler and more effective communication tool.
The copper link encourages salivation, promoting relaxation and helping the horse to accept the bit more willingly. The Pelham design offers a versatile range of control options, combining curb action with direct rein pressure. This allows the rider to adjust the amount of leverage as needed, making the Copper Dr. Bristol Pelham Bit an ideal choice for horses that require a balance of leverage and comfort.
