My mare's big Percheron head needs a big bit. We have an egg butt snaffle but need a pelham. Trainer wants a happy mouth but I cannot find one this big. Any suggestions for sources for this type of bit.
Thanks! Posted via Mobile Device
Try searching eBay. I purchased a 5" rubber mouth Pelham off there for $10. I'm not sure how lucky you'll be finding one in your size but it's worth a shot.
Chances are you'll have to order (if you hadn't already considered that ). There are some draft-specific stores which combat that precise problem
I think the one you'll find the most helpful is "drafttack.com" and they actually have the rubber-mouth bits (a happy mouth without the brand name ) in a Pelham, and it comes in 6" and 6 1/2"
They have a ton of options in the Pelham-style, plus many other types of bits. Even different shank sizes in the rubber-mouthed Pelham
The link is here: PELHAM BITS
P.S. both links are to riding bits, which is what I assumed you were looking for, but they have driving bits too
