The cheek pieces are made of the highest quality Stainless Steel available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mikmar Pelhams combine classic Pelham cheek pieces made of high quality stainless steel, and the lightweight mouthpieces are made of the special Mikmar alloy. A Pelham bit offers the rider the use of a snaffle and curb rein simultaneously.  The snaffle rein position which is the upper ring, provides direct pressure, aids in lateral flexion and lifts the horse’s frame. The lower ring rein position, aids in vertical flexion and activates the curb chain providing leverage when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I need to know about the Mikmar mouthpieces?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough this mouthpiece makes a curious first impression, it is a kind yet effective way to communicate with the horse. In general, a wide mouthpiece is milder than a thin one. The Mikmar mouthpiece is wide, flat and non-pinching. It incorporates a copper roller to stimulate saliva production which relaxes and loosens the horse’s jaw. It activates in a slow, non-abrupt way, without being sharp. The shape of the mouthpiece, combined with the function of the four points of pressure results in less wear and tear on the horse’s mouth. There are a variety of straight and jointed styles to choose from. \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taupo Equestrian Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46680541495493,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/1708\/2565\/files\/IMG-0507.heic?v=1786329492","url":"https:\/\/www.taupoequestriansupplies.co.nz\/products\/mikmar-pelham-with-4-cheek-5-1-2-sob","provider":"Taupo Equestrian Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
