Pelham Happy Tongue

A horse shaking its head when bit pressure is applied or its tongue trying to escape the bit are classic signs the horse has a sensitive tongue. With this in mind the happy tongue was created, it has a medium port creating space for the tongue, relieving pressure, allowing the horse to relax.

The Pelham has attachments for two reins, one near the mouthpiece and one at the end of the shank. These reins have similar action to the curb and bradoon reins in the double bridle.

All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:

oxidises easily
encourages salivation
helps bit acceptance
is warm and sweet

Please note the blue will fade with use.
