Rugby Pelham Bits
The rugby 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.
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.
CAMBRIDGE MOUTH - ideal for horses that have a large tongue or small mouth. The Cambridge mouth is a very mild mouthpiece as it has very little movement which means the pressure doesn't change much.
JOINTED - has the nutcracker action which acts on the bars of the mouth and sometimes the roof of the mouth.
MULLEN MOUTH - has no nut cracker action or movement in the horses mouth, it is ideal for horses that have a very soft mouth, or for horses that back off the contact.
