PELHAM NOVOCONTACT 42540

Novocontact bits are designed to create a unique oval shape which widens the contact surface on the tongue while the rider keeps a steady contact.

Only when the rider gives a reinforced rein aid the mouthpiece turns forward and the contact surface gets narrower, ensuring more precise and effective communication. Thus, novocontact bits improve the interaction between horse and rider for a better contact and acceptance of the bit.

Tests have shown that single jointed novocontact bits are highly recommended for horses that do not seek the contact confidently.

They also provide added benefit for horses with a sensitive mouth, as the rider is able to give precise but soft aids.

This pelham allows for a precise and effective aid transmission to the whole tongue, poll, and lower jaw. Depending on the fastening the leverage on the poll can be adjusted individually.

The pelham is often used with bit converters. If rider and horse are already more highly trained, it is advisable to use two pairs of reins: then the leverage can be applied most sensitively. The bit is used with a curb chain that should allow a 45° angle between shank and mouth in order to limit the pressure on the poll.
