Pelham Bits

A pelham does the job of two bits in one mouthpiece, which is why it’s earned its place in so many tack rooms. Our range covers Bombers Bits and Trust Equestrian, including elliptical and happy tongue mouthpieces plus the kimblewick for anyone who wants the effect without the double rein. The snaffle rein acts on the mouth, the curb rein brings in poll and chin pressure, and you decide how much of each you use.
It’s a popular answer for a horse that’s strong out hunting or jumping but doesn’t warrant a full double bridle. Ride it on two reins and you get proper control over how much curb comes into play; ride it on roundings, or pick a kimblewick, and you simplify things for a child or a busy pair of hands. Either way it needs a curb chain fitted correctly to work, and a guard is worth having if your horse is fine-skinned in the chin groove.
The curb chains and guards live in bit accessories. If a pelham is more bit than you need, look at the gag bits for lift without curb pressure, or the wider horse bits range. Finish the setup with the right bridle.
