MYLER PELHAM MB04

NOTE: SPECIAL ORDER, PLEASE ENQUIRE FOR AN ETA.

Stainless Steel Pelham
MB 04 Low Port Comfort Snaffle
Level 2

The MB 04 is similar to the MB 02 in that it will rotate on the tongue and apply tongue pressure, however, it has a small (¼") port that introduces some tongue relief to the horse. The port allows the horse to swallow and move his tongue when he is moving forward and relaxed, which acts as a release or reward. The mouthpiece is curved, and it wraps around the bars and lips instead of pinching.

• Independent Side Movement
• Stainless Steel Mouthpiece
• Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
• Copper Inlay

The stainless steel Pelham is designed to be used with two pairs of reins simultaneously. The headstall attaches to the purchase ring which keeps the cheek stationary. The first set of reins are the snaffle reins, which attach to the larger ring adjacent to the mouthpiece. The second set of reins are the curb reins, which attach to the smaller ring at the bottom of the shank. Comes with curb chain.

The Pelham uses both direct (snaffle) and indirect (curb) rein action using two sets of reins acting on one mouthpiece. Similar to a double bridle, which also uses two sets of reins, but the double bridle requires a snaffle bit for the snaffle rein and a curb bit for the curb rein. The Pelham can be used with a bit converter, a leather loop connecting the snaffle and curb ring to which only one set of reins is attached.

Action: Snaffle ring is Direct rein action. Curb ring is Indirect rein action.

Size: 4" straight shank with purchase

Discipline: English

Degree of Leverage: Mild

Notes: For a cheek that offers both Direct and Indirect rein as separate options for one set of reins, see the Kimberwick.
