John Patterson Jointed Pelham, 4.5"

These quality eggbutt jointed pelham bits are unique in their design and more comfortable for your pony. The bits are perfect for training or regular use on any pony that must have maximum comfort in order to deliver top level performance.

Regular jointed pelham bits have nearly straight mouthpiece sections which exert severe direct pressure on the tongue and bars when you take back on the reins. The highly curved sections of the JP bit eliminate the "nutcracker" action and stop the bit from hitting the roof of the mouth. The curve shape also allows room for the ponies tongue and eliminates interference that conventional bits can cause.

The cheek length is 5 1/4 inches. The JP bit is available 4 1/2 inches.
