The curved mullen mouthpiece gives space for the tongue whilst distributing pressure evenly throughout the mouth. Pelham’s have been designed to be used with two reins, one attached to the top ring (snaffle) and one attached to the bottom loose ring (curb), which is used when needed for extra leverage.

Can also be used with rounding’s attached to a single rein so that the mouthpiece and the curb come into action at the same time. The small ring above the curb is used for a lip strap which is not essential but is correct for showing and it helps to keep the curb chain flat. Pelham's are ideal for stronger horses who may benefit from the activation of the curb rein which puts pressure on the bars of the mouth, chin and poll to help promote correct head carriage.
