The Pelham sidepiece creates a frame feeling for horses who tend to become unstable but still strong. We recommend using the pelham with a delta bridle or two reins, one in the large fixed ring and one in the small ring. With two reins, you can easily regulate how much leverage you want from the bit by shortening or lengthening the rein attached to the bottom ring. With more leverage, you get a slightly lower neck and more effect, with less leverage you can get the horse a bit higher in the neck with less effect. If you use Fager’s adjustable delta, you have the same choice without using two reins. This design acts as a curb version of a Baucher bit. Fager has baby pelham with shorter shanks as well.
