Nicole Soft Rubber Bit – Baby Pelham
Subtle leverage with a soft touch
The Nicole Soft Rubber Baby Pelham takes your aids to a new level of finesse. This bit combines the softness of a rubbery mouthpiece with a gentle lever action, allowing you to add nuance without overloading the horse's mouth.
What makes this bit special?
✅ TPU / soft rubber feel
The mouthpiece is made of high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). This material feels soft and gentle, yet is also robust and durable—ideal for horses with sensitive mouths.
✅ Baby Pelham action for nuance
Thanks to its short shanks, this bit offers manageable leverage. You have multiple ring options to subtly modulate your aids, providing flexibility in various situations.
✅ Design & pressure distribution
The mouthpiece is slightly narrowed in the middle: this reduces pressure on the tongue while maintaining contact across the bars and cheek edges — a balanced support.
✅ Choice of hardness and thicknesses
-
Soft (light green colour) — extra mild, ideal for sensitive horses
-
Hard (dark green color) — a little more structure for horses that can handle subtle aids
Available in two thicknesses (16 mm and 20 mm) so you can adjust the bit as precisely as possible to your horse's mouth.
Which horses is this suitable for?
This bit is ideally suited for:
-
Young or inexperienced horses that still need to learn to deal with bit pressure
-
Horses with a dry or sensitive mouth
-
Animals that tend to run away from contact
-
Riders who strive for refinement in aids, without having to use force

NB :
• With intensive use, small marks may appear due to “biting” — this is not considered a product defect
• The mouthpiece may become deformed if left hanging for long periods or stored in a warm environment; it is best to store it flat or in a stable place.
• If shape correction is necessary, the mouthpiece can be carefully reshaped
Connect with softness and nuance
With the Nicole Soft Rubber Baby Pelham, you give your horse space and direction. The bit encourages acceptance, while your aids remain subtle and refined. This way, you build trust and maintain control—hand in hand.
