The Hexagon Copper Cricket Roller Pelham Bit uniquely combines the benefits of a hexagonal mouthpiece with the dynamic functionality of a copper cricket roller, all within the versatile framework of a Pelham design.
The hexagon-shaped mouthpiece is the centerpiece of this bit, offering varied contact points in the horse’s mouth. Unlike traditional round mouthpieces, the hexagonal shape provides a more engaging and stimulating experience for the horse, particularly beneficial for those accustomed to standard bits. This multifaceted approach helps maintain the horse’s focus and responsiveness to the rider’s cues.
At the center of the bit lies the copper cricket roller, a distinct feature that promotes active engagement from the horse. The roller entices the horse to play, which in turn facilitates salivation and creates a more supple mouth. Furthermore, the roller produces a gentle ‘cricket’ sound, serving as an auditory cue for riders. This sound allows riders to gain insight into their horse’s mouth activity and level of comfort, enabling them to adjust their rein handling for more effective communication.
The Pelham design of the bit combines the control of a curb bit with the direct action of a snaffle. This combination offers riders leverage and control. The bit’s design makes it especially suitable for experienced riders who can skillfully utilize the combined effects of the hexagonal mouthpiece, copper roller, and Pelham cheekpiece.
