Jumpin'In Small Cheek Pelham Bit with High Port
The Pelham bit is a great compromise between the bridle and the double bridle. It offers a lever action more or less strong depending on the cheeks length, the curb chain adjustment and how it is assembled. This bit encourages the horse to give in in the neck and exercises pressure on the mandibles.
The high port helps for direction. Horses can easily place their tongue, breathe better and be more focused while working. Every Pelham bit can be used directly with two reins, with bit loops or with four reins. Therefore, the curb chain action can be softened by using other curb chain types as leather or nylon ones.
