The Nylon Mullen Mouth Pelham is ideal for horses with a sensitive mouth towards stainless steel. The Jeffries Nylon Mullen Mouth Pelham Bit is designed to allow gentle yet effective sensitive aid to ease communication between horse and rider. Made from stainless steel cheek pieces and a rubber mouthpiece to be soft and comfortable in the horses mouth.
The tightness of the curb chain has a direct affect on how much pressure is applied to the curb. This bit is designed to be used with two reins - one rein on the 'snaffle' or 'bradoon' ring, and another rein on the 'curb' ring. The pelham is very popular in the showring for children's ponies, as it teaches the children to ride with two reins without having to use a double bridle.
