• The Pelham bit combines the function of a snaffle and the action of a curb bit
• The top rein provides snaffle pressure to the tongue and corners of the mouth, while the bottom rein increases leverage and curb chain pressure
• The thicker mouthpiece is softer on the corners and the bars of the mouth and pressure created by the reins is spread over a larger surface area
• The hard rubber mouthpiece offers a warmer and softer option to stainless steel
• The Tom Thumb cheeks are shorter than on a traditional pelham making this a better bit for a less experienced rider due to the reduced curb action available
• The single joint applies a nut cracker action which applies pressure to the tongue, the bars of the mouth and the horse's palate
