The Korsteel Cambridge Mouth Rugby Pelham (also sometimes known as a Low Port Rugby Pelham) is a highly specialised show ring bit engineered to simulate the precise visual appearance of a full double bridle while utilising only one single mouthpiece. It features unique, multi-jointed "Rugby" cheeks paired with a low-ported, unjointed Cambridge bar. This design is particularly well-suited for strong horses with large, fleshy tongues or low palates that lack the physical room to tolerate two independent metal bits but still require dual-rein refinement and leverage to encourage vertical flexion.
Key Specifications:
- Mouthpiece Design and Material: Solid, unjointed Cambridge bar featuring a low central tongue port in high-grade, high-polish stainless steel that will not flake or rust.
- Mouthpiece Thickness: Slim 14mm profile (leaving maximum vertical clearance inside the mouth).
- Cheekpiece Style: Rugby Pelham shanks with a floating, independent loose ring linked above the main body.
How it Works:
- The Rugby Cheek Illusion: The bridle's slip head (or independent bradoon hanger) hooks into the small top loop, while the primary rein connects to the large floating ring. Because this ring slides independently, it mimics the loose-ring movement of a bradoon, tricking showing judges into seeing a complete double bridle while maintaining a lighter footprint in the mouth.
- Tongue Relief Port: The central arch of the Cambridge mouth arches cleanly over the middle of the tongue. This layout eliminates direct clamping or pinching on horses with sensitive or thick tongues, instead transferring initial hand aids onto the wider, less sensitive bars of the lower jaw.
- Dual Rein Mechanical Action: Designed to be ridden exclusively with two reins:
  - The Snaffle Rein: Attached to the floating ring, it maintains consistent, unassisted contact for steering and holding the horse up in the hand.
  - The Curb Rein: Hooked to the bottom loop, it engages the shanks as a lever, pulling the top forward to create downward poll pressure while simultaneously pulling the curb chain snug against the chin groove for increased braking control.
This bit is not legal for British Dressage (BD) or FEI competitions but is widely permissible for Show jumping and Cross Country phases.
