Pelham

A Pelham bit is designed with shanks and a curb chain, creating leverage and applying pressure to the poll, chin and mouth. This combination allows for refined and controlled communication when used correctly.

The degree of action is influenced by the design of the mouthpiece, the length of the shanks and the adjustment of the curb chain. Depending on the configuration, a Pelham bit can offer a milder feel or a more pronounced leverage effect.
