Pelham 55 Bomber Blue 130mm

The Bombers Pelham 55 Bomber Blue – 130mm combines a Pelham cheekpiece with Bombers’ lightweight, non-metal Bomber Blue nylon composite mouthpiece.

The Pelham provides two rein attachment positions and introduces moderate poll pressure and leverage on the mouthpiece and curb. Riders may also choose to use rein connectors depending on their preferred setup.

The ported Bomber Blue mouthpiece is designed to provide tongue relief, while its lightweight nylon composite construction encourages salivation and offers an alternative to traditional metal mouthpieces. It is particularly suited to horses that object to metal bits.

The standard Pelham is available with two shank lengths, with the longer shank allowing more hand movement and slowing the leverage applied to the pressure points.

Key Features & Benefits

• 130mm mouthpiece – suitable for horses requiring this bit width.
• Pelham cheekpiece – provides leverage and moderate poll pressure.
• Two rein attachment positions – allows different rein configurations.
• Rein connector compatible – some riders may prefer connectors for a simpler rein setup.
• Bomber Blue nylon composite mouthpiece – lightweight, non-metal construction.
• Ported mouthpiece – designed to provide tongue relief.
• Encourages salivation – the composite material is designed to promote salivation and acceptance.
• Suitable for horses that object to metal bits.
• Two standard shank lengths – the longer shank provides more hand movement and slows the leverage effect.
• Four scaled port sizes – matched to bit width for more accurate positioning.

Important: A Pelham is a leverage bit. Correct fitting, curb-chain adjustment and appropriate rein use are important. Bit selection should take the individual horse and rider into account.

Cheekpiece

The Pelham cheekpiece features 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 Bomber Blue mouthpiece is made from a lightweight nylon composite and features a port designed to provide tongue relief.

Its non-metal construction makes it an alternative for horses that object to conventional metal mouthpieces. The material is designed to encourage salivation and acceptance.

Bombers offers four port sizes, scaled according to the corresponding bit width. This helps the port sit accurately over the bars and reduces unwanted rocking that can occur when the port is too wide.
