Fager Andrea Soft Rubber bit Baby pelham

Andrea Hard Rubber Bit – Baby Pelham

Subtle leverage with a gentle impact

The Andrea Hard Rubber Bit – Baby Pelham combines the precision of a leverage bit with the comfort of a soft mouthpiece. Ideal for riders who seek that little bit extra control in challenging situations, yet want to maintain respect for their horse's mouth.

What makes this bit unique?

✅ TPU / hard rubber-like material
Made from high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane that approaches the softness of rubber, but with more resilience and durability. This makes the bit gentler than pure metal pelhams, without being too fragile.

✅ Baby Pelham action
Thanks to the shorter shanks, the leverage effect remains limited but more effective. This gives you extra nuance in your aids without having to switch to a full pelham.

✅ Small tongue relief
There is a subtle free space for the tongue, so that pressure on the tongue is softened. This makes the mouthpiece feel friendlier, without losing conscious contact on the cheek sides and bars.

✅ Stable position in the mouth
Due to its design, the bit rotates less, which feels calmer for your horse and allows for a more direct response.

Which horses is this bit suitable for?

This bit is perfect for:

• Horses that respond to leverage but need softer contact points

• Animals that have difficulty with bits where the bit can slide freely

• Situations where you seek extra control, for example in case of tension or resistance

• Riders familiar with the use of pelhams and who want subtle fine-tuning
