MAX-Control Pelham 16 mm with locking mechanism

The MAX-Control bits are visually hardly distinguishable from conventional double-jointed bits. Their special feature: From a certain angle - i.e. only when the rider applies a stronger rein or the horse pulls strongly - the mouthpiece blocks and briefly forms a mullen mouth. This effect only sets in gently, but enables precise communication. If the horse gives wayagain, this effect subsides immediately.

The MAX-Control Pelham is double jointed and can develop a bar effect when the reins are taken up. It enables targeted and effective aids to be given, which act on the tongue, poll and the lower jaw. Depending on the buckling, the leverage effect on the neck can be varied as desired. This gives you the opportunity to respond individually to your horse.

The bit is often used in combination with a Pelham strap. If rider and horse are already more highly trained, it is recommended to use two pairs of reins: This way the leverage can be used as sensitively as possible. The pelham is used together with a chin chain and a chin chain pad. A pelham is especially recommended for riders with a soft hand.
