The Stainless Steel Tom Thumb Pelham Bit has the shorter cheek shanks that offer less leverage and are less severe than traditional longer shank pelhams. This bit combines the function of a snaffle and the action of a curb bit.
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 single jointed mouthpiece applies pressure to the sides of the tongue, bars and lips. As rein pressure increases, the bit tightens in the horse's mouth providing greater control.
The mouthpiece of this snaffle bit is made of copper wire wrapped around a central core. It has a half cheek design, which means it has cheekpieces on only one side of the mouthpiece. The cheekpiece prevents the bit from sliding out of the horse’s mouth.
