Nicole Hard Rubber Bit – Baby Pelham

Power and refinement in one connection

The Nicole Hard Rubber Baby Pelham offers subtle leverage combined with the soft feel of rubber. This bit is ideal for riders who need stability in challenging situations while still respecting the horse's mouth.

Why choose the Nicole Hard Rubber Baby Pelham?

✅ Rubber with character
The mouthpiece is made of sturdy TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) which combines the durability of resin with a friendlier feel than pure metal.

✅ Baby Pelham operation
Thanks to the relatively short shanks (so “baby” Pelham), the leverage remains manageable and subtle, while still giving you extra options for finer control.

✅ Multiple ring options
The three rings (top ring + bottom ring) allow you to differentiate between intensity levels:

• Top ring: soft contact

• Bottom ring: reinforced leverage effect
  — You can combine this with one rein via a pelham strap or work with two reins for more refinement.

✅ Stability without rigidity
The design provides a fixed position in the mouth, which means the bit rotates less, which can bring calm and consistency to the aids.

This bit goes well with:

• Horses that react restlessly to loose bits
