The Pelham bit is commonly used with stronger horses as it allows for deeper flexion, but it is not suitable for inexperienced riders or horses due to the potential for strong effects. It is important to note that the use of a Pelham requires proper technique and education on the part of the rider. Pelhams should only be used with experienced hands and with careful consideration given to the horse's comfort and safety.

Featuring a rubber block mouthpiece, the bit is engineered to distribute pressure evenly across a wider surface area within the horse's mouth, effectively discouraging the horse from fixing or leaning. The mouthpiece's tapered structure, with blocks that gradually decrease in size, ensures additional tongue space, alleviating pressure, and increasing the horse's comfort and bit acceptance. The Pelham design, with its dual action of curb and snaffle, offers riders enhanced control and flexibility in communication.
