Our bits are designed to have a 100% smooth surface, including around the joints. The joints are designed and constructed to ensure they never push against the palate or sit on top of the bars. All these clever features result in an extremely comfortable bit which naturally fits the contours of the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-normal text-base mb-2\"\u003eFager's smooth joints are designed to never press against the sides of the palate or create uneven pressure over the bars. It makes the pressure over the tongue more gentle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-normal text-base mb-2\"\u003eThe small tongue relief, in combination with the smooth joints, makes this bit a good option for horses with a sensitive tongue who can open their mouth, pull the reins, and move the tongue around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-normal text-base mb-2\"\u003eThe Pelham sidepiece is similar to Baby Pelham, but with a longer shank to create more leverage effect. This sidepiece gives a framed, stable feeling in the hand, making the horse come down and forward still with clear brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-normal text-base mb-2\"\u003eWe recommend using the pelham with a delta bridle or two reins, one in the large loose ring and one in the small ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-normal text-base mb-2\"\u003eWith two reins, you can easily regulate how much leverage you want from the bit by shortening, or lengthening, the rein that is attached to the bottom ring. With more leverage, you get a slightly lower neck and more effect, with less leverage you can get the horse a bit higher in the neck with less effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-normal text-base mb-2\"\u003ePlease note, horses who are wide over the premolars\/teeth may need to size up in this bit due to the upper shanks. This is because the sidepiece of the bridle is attached to the upper shank of the bit, which is placed higher up where some horses are wider than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-normal text-base mb-2\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/1273\/8199\/files\/Screenshot_2025-05-20_at_10.08.10_AM.png?v=1747750104\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fager Bits USA","offers":[{"title":"105MM \/ 4 1\/4\"","offer_id":46559256379584,"sku":"MARCUS105P","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115MM \/ 4 1\/2\"","offer_id":46559256412352,"sku":"MARCUS115P","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125MM \/ 5\"","offer_id":46559256445120,"sku":"MARCUS125P","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"135MM \/ 5 1\/4\"","offer_id":46559256477888,"sku":"MARCUS135P","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"145MM \/ 5 3\/4\"","offer_id":46559256510656,"sku":"MARCUS145P","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/7739\/4624\/files\/764_fedcb37a12-marcusp_angle-full.webp?v=1783963749","url":"https:\/\/eliteequestriansupply.com\/products\/fager-marcus-sweet-iron-pelham","provider":"Elite Equestrian Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
