Jointed & Link Pelham Bits
The pelham bit is often used in showing as an alternative to a
weymouth and bradoon. It applies a variety of pressures which all work
together and therefore is a very popular bit. This bit should be used
with two reins, the first rein attaches to the snaffle ring and the
second rein is attached to the ring on the lower shank. When the first
rein is used the bit acts like a hanging cheek snaffle, when the second
rein is used it increases leverage, lip pressure and the curb chain also
applies pressure.
EGGBUTT JOINTED - provides a combined action of a curb bit with eggbutt cheeks. This bit is stronger than a eggbutt snaffle as it applies pressure on the jaw.
HOLLOW JOINTED - the mouthpiece is lighter and thicker in diameter, which means the pressure is spread over a wider area.
STANDARD JOINTED - has the nutcracker action which acts on the bars of the
mouth and sometimes the roof of the mouth.
FRENCH LINK - the double jointed french link mouth piece eliminates the nutcracker action, and disperses the pressure over the two joints rather than the one in the single jointed snaffle mouthpiece.
ELLIPTICAL LINK - the elliptical link works very similar to the french link, but with a smooth lozenge in the middle for a more positive action on the tongue.
