A pelham is a bit that combines the features of a snaffle and a curb bit in one – it has shanks and can be used with two sets of reins or with rein converters. It acts on the horse's tongue, bars, corners of the mouth, and poll, offering more control than a regular snaffle. It is used in eventing, show jumping, and recreational riding. At Black Paddock Equine, we offer Sprenger pelhams.
