Pelham Double Jointed Blue Steel Balotade® Bit.
The bit full, thanks to its weight, lies securely in the horse’s mouth.
Pelham is a specialist bit. It is intended for experienced riders. Thanks to the lever and the stainless steel chain, it provides strong and precise operation. Often used in show jumping, dressage and event.
The strap is made of hand-polished “sweet” blue steel. Sweet iron naturally enhances salivation, and during use, under the influence of moisture, heat and air, a gentle coating of surface rust with a sweet taste is created, which naturally stimulates the horse’s salivation, which makes it easier for the horse to accept the bit.
Due to the technology used, the bit changes its color from blue, through gray, to brown. Despite the oxidation process taking place, the bit does not lose its properties. When the material (blue steel) reacts with moisture, heat and air in a process called oxidation, it produces rust with a sweet taste .
The blue steel bit changes color and a rust bloom appears. Don’t worry – it’s a natural effect.
Most horses like this sweet taste and start chewing the bit harder.
Rings made of stainless steel.
