beris Pelham: Bits with leverage for competition and hacking
The pelham combines snaffle and curb in a single bit. Here you will find beris pelhams, short or long, with comfort bar, tongue port or as a PRIME model.
A pelham has a ring at the top for the snaffle rein and a shank at the bottom that adds leverage. This lets you fine-tune how much influence you need at any moment. beris offers short and long pelhams, with comfort bar, with tongue port bar and with the KONNEX tongue port. The short PRIME pelham and jointed versions round off the choice.
Short or long pelham, what is the difference?
The longer the shank below the mouthpiece, the stronger the leverage. A short pelham responds a little more directly and mildly, while a long one gives more control on strong horses.
