We love this direct and gentle bit from AJR!The Siloflex Pelham bit is a premium horse bit designed to deliver unmatched durability, comfort and precise communication, making it ideal for sensitive horses. Its core is crafted from braided wire, precision-dipped in PVC for enhanced strength and longevity, and encased in a protective plastic tube for additional durability. The outer layer of the Siloflex bit is constructed from high-quality food-grade silicone with a 50% hardness rating, perfectly balancing softness and support. This makes the bit particularly well-suited for horses with delicate mouths or heightened sensitivity. To prevent the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth during use, the design includes a square cheek guard that ensures stability and proper positioning. The Pelham design combines direct rein pressure with leverage action from the curb rein, offering riders increased control over balance, collection and responsiveness. This leverage helps achieve greater control over the horse’s head carriage and overall movement, making it especially useful for stronger horses. The Siloflex Pelham bit is engineered to improve rider-to-horse communication while prioritizing the horse's comfort and overall well-being. Combining advanced materials and expert craftsmanship, the Siloflex bit is an excellent choice for riders looking for a functional, reliable, and comfortable solution for their sensitive horses.
