Bombers Pelham Moulded Mullen - 125mm

The Bombers Pelham Moulded Mullen – 125mm combines a traditional Pelham cheekpiece with Bombers’ moulded Mullen mouthpiece. Designed for riders seeking a softer, more evenly distributed mouthpiece contact, the Mullen is shaped and angled at 45° around the tongue.

The Pelham provides attachment points for two reins and introduces moderate poll pressure and leverage through the mouthpiece and curb. Rein connectors can also be used where preferred.

The moulded mouthpiece features a flexible stainless-steel cable core surrounded by Bombers' bespoke flexible synthetic material, developed with a focus on texture, durability and comfort.

A curb chain and orange bit protectors are included.

Important: A Pelham is a leverage bit and should be correctly fitted and used by a knowledgeable rider or trainer. Correct curb-chain adjustment and appropriate rein use are important.

Key Features & Benefits

• 125mm mouthpiece – suitable for horses requiring this bit width.
• Pelham cheekpiece – provides leverage and moderate poll pressure.
• Two rein positions – allows attachment of reins at the mouthpiece and end of the shank.
• Moulded Mullen mouthpiece – shaped and flattened for a broad, even contact around the tongue.
• 45° mouthpiece angle – designed to distribute pressure around the tongue.
• Flexible stainless-steel cable core – provides internal strength and flexibility.
• Flexible synthetic covering – non-toxic, UV-resistant and FDA-approved according to Bombers.
• Designed for horses that object to metal mouthpieces.
• Two standard shank lengths – the longer shank allows more hand movement and slows the leverage effect.
• Curb chain included.

Cheekpiece

The Pelham cheekpiece has two rein attachment positions: one near the mouthpiece and another at the end of the shank.

The standard Pelham is available with two shank lengths. The longer shank allows greater hand movement and provides a slower leverage response.

A smaller Pony cheekpiece is also available.

Mouthpiece

The Moulded Mullen mouthpiece is uniquely shaped and flattened, with a 45° angle designed to provide soft, evenly distributed contact over and around the tongue.

Inside the moulded material is a flexible stainless-steel cable core. Bombers' flexible synthetic material is designed around three key attributes: texture, durability and comfort.

The design is particularly suited to horses that object to metal mouthpieces or have been difficult to find a suitable bit for.
