The Pelham bit combines the function of a snaffle and the action of a curb bit. The top rein provides snaffle pressure to the tongue and corners of the mouth, while the bottom rein increases leverage and curb chain pressure. Fixed cheeks of the eggbutt prevent pinching at the sides of the mouth and provides a consistent contact. The single joint applies a nut cracker action which applies pressure to the tongue, the bars of the mouth and the horse's palate.
