Pelham bit

The Pelham is like the curb a lever teeth that comes in the bridle of riding horses for use. On both sides of the mouthpiece and the subtrees rings are attached, in which the reins can be strapped. The Pelham united to a certain point, the effect of a classic double bridle with snaffle, but for the completed connection, the right verschnallte bite is too high for optimal curb effect, for optimal effect snaffle too low in his mouth.

The Real Pelham is an unbroken Snaffle and is used without bradoon. When used properly, is ridden with two reins pairs:

• The attached next to the teeth reins acts similarly to bridle reins and
• The subtree attached to the reins acts like curb reins.

For the leadership of the reins couple by the riders there are just like the curb with bradoon different ways with different modes of action, as needed. A buckling with delta belt, so a belt then a reins is attached from the top to the bottom rein ring and in the is not recommended because it ensures only an imprecise reins and the rider can not control whether he now horsebit wishes to exercise or curb reins effect. In any case it works to determine this effect by raising or deep obtaining the reins fists.

A common variant is the "wrong Pelham " with jointed mouthpiece, which is often used with a pair of reins in the subtree. It reinforces the leverage and then clamps the loading of the horses jaw a stronger, is thus rather a failed version of the real thing Pelham. The sole Einschnallen a single pair of reins in the lower rein ring is the effect of a bare curb near ( pending curb reins bridle reins without exposure ), which places high demands on skills and level of training of the rider.

A Pelham bit with unbroken mouthpiece and two pairs of reins may be advisable for younger horses that are only to be used to the curb, or the bars are too narrow, so do not find two mouthpieces ( snaffle and curb bit ) space.
