The Pelham bit combines the function of a snaffle and the action of a curb bit.
The mouthpiece is slightly curved to accommodate the tongue and creates even pressure on the bars of the mouth and the horse's tongue.
The optional curb rein attachment allows this bit to be ridden with one rein, two reins or a converter to vary the amount of pressure exerted on the poll and by the curb chain.
The Mikmar Pelham Bit (with straight mouthpiece) incorporates the traditional Pelham cheek pieces with the unique light-weight Mikmar mouthpiece. This bit operates through both direct action and leverage, using a curb chain or leather curb strap.
The full cheek has narrow arms which project above and below the rings, preventing it from sliding in the horses mouth and to emphasize the tuning aid. This is a great all purpose training snaffle with the right amount of weight to keep a steady contact.
