5 1/2" Korsteel Rubber Jointed Tom Thumb Pelham Bit

Experience the gentle yet effective control of the Rubber Jointed Tom Thumb Pelham Bit, which is perfectly suited for less experienced riders. This bit combines the functionality of both a snaffle and a curb bit, with the top rein providing snaffle pressure on the tongue and corners of the mouth for direct control, and the bottom rein offering increased leverage and curb chain pressure for more pronounced responses. The thicker, hard rubber mouthpiece ensures a softer, warmer touch than stainless steel, distributing pressure more evenly and enhancing comfort for the horse. Additionally, the shorter Tom Thumb cheeks reduce the curb action, making it easier to manage. At the same time, the single-jointed design delivers a nutcracker effect that communicates cues by targeting the tongue, bars, and palate.
