Light, refined, and thoughtfully engineered, the Locking Waterford Pelham bit offers the trusted flexibility of a Waterford mouthpiece without the usual risks of pinching or palate pressure. Its innovative locking mechanism limits movement to a forward and backward motion only, making it an excellent option for low-palate horses. By removing vertical play, this “pinchless” design helps avoid any unpleasant pinching or collapsing that can occur in standard Waterfords. The locking mechanism also creates a more accurate contact, as the mouthpiece’s focused action provides clear and consistent signals to the horse. The series of smooth oval links still discourages horses from bracing or leaning, as there is no rigid surface to latch onto. The Pelham cheek piece allows for dual-rein use, offering both the direct action of asnaffle and the leverage of a curb, giving the rider flexibility in controlling balance, headcarriage, and overall responsiveness. With its smart balance of softness, stability, and control, the Locking Waterford Pelham is perfect for riders seeking a kinder bit for stronger or more sensitivemounts without compromising performance. Material: Stainless Steel Mouth Thickness: 16mm
