The stainless steel Pelham Snaffle Bit is a double-rein bit which has dual action. It acts as a snaffle, working on tongue and corners and bars of mouth. It also acts as a curb bit, applying pressure to the poll. Comes in a 5" mouthpiece with 4 3/4" cheek pieces.
**TIP: A pelham works on several parts of a horses mouth, depending on which rein is applied.
- The bars: applied by the mouthpiece, and directly related to the
length of the shank of the bit. The curb chain and a high port can also
increase the pressure placed on the bars of the mouth.
- The tongue: applied by the mouthpiece, with the pressure related to the thickness and type of mouthpiece.
- The roof of the mouth: only applicable if the mouthpiece of the pelham has a high port, or if it is jointed.
- The poll: severity is directly related to the length of the upper shank in
relation to the lower shank. All pelhams apply at least a little
pressure on the poll.
- The chin groove: pressure applied by the curb chain when the curb rein is used.
- Side of the jaws: a pelham may add some pressure to the sides of the jaw due to its length.
