The Velari Pelham with Flex Hard material and tongue port mouthpiece is crafted for horses that need clarity, stability, and a confident contact — and for riders who want the nuance to deliver it. This is a thoughtful combination that balances structure with sensitivity, offering gentle leverage and well-defined aids without ever feeling harsh.
The Pelham cheekpiece brings quiet versatility to this bit, with short shanks that introduce mild leverage while keeping it well within the rider's control. Used with two sets of reins or a bit converter, it allows for subtle, layered communication — the upper ring working through the bridle cheekpiece, the lower ring offering the leverage point when a clearer ask is needed. A curb chain can be added to further stabilise the action, distributing pressure more evenly and helping the horse settle into a consistent, balanced contact.
The Flex Hard material gives this bit a firm, purposeful presence in the horse's mouth — one that speaks clearly without resorting to metal. It is the right choice for horses that tend to lean or seek out a softer bit to evade, offering a defined rein connection that encourages responsiveness and discourages heavy-handedness from the horse. Constructed from a firm, non-toxic synthetic, the surface remains smooth and safe throughout, delivering maximum clarity of aid while still carrying the warmth and comfort that sets Velari's synthetic range apart from traditional metal options.
The tongue port mouthpiece completes this combination with both precision and relief. Its stable shape holds true under pressure, making it especially well suited to horses that go heavy in the contact or lose their outline in softer mouthpieces. The port itself creates valuable tongue room, redirecting pressure away from the centre of the tongue and onto the bars — a gentle but effective solution for horses sensitive to tongue pressure or those that have a habit of putting their tongue over or outside the bit. The result is a more settled, secure mouth and a cleaner line of communication between hand and horse.
Ideal for:
- Horses that lean or become heavy in the contact
- Horses sensitive to tongue pressure or prone to putting their tongue out
- Horses that benefit from a more defined, consistent rein connection
- Horses at an intermediate to advanced level of training
- Riders who prefer a versatile cheekpiece with options for fine-tuning their aids
- Riders with a quiet, educated hand who can manage two reins or a converter with confidence
- Disciplines where steady, balanced contact and clear transitions are a priority
Care & Use
After each ride, rinse the bit with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Store in a dry place and check regularly for smooth, even wear. Make sure the bit is positioned correctly: the star must be on the left side and the Velari logo on the right.
