The Sprenger MAX-Control Pelham is a double-jointed bit with a locking mechanism that activates under stronger rein pressure, temporarily forming a straight bar. This allows for precise, controlled communication and greater influence when needed. The locking effect is gentle and immediately releases when the contact softens.

It acts on the tongue, poll, and lower jaw, with the degree of leverage adjustable depending on rein setup. Suitable for use with one or two reins, or with Pelham straps. Ideal for training or corrective work, particularly with strong or forward horses. Designed for riders with a soft, sensitive hand.
