Description
The Pelham bridle has a pretty great balance between control and comfort. It has one bit and a pair of reins.
The Pelham bit (though some riders call it a curb bit) uses parts from both a curb bit and a snaffle bit. It gives riders control of two reins without needing two separate bits. Polo riders usually use a Pelham bridle for better control. Polo bridles usually have a wide, flat leather noseband with not much cushioning.
One of the great things about Pelham bridles is that they make transitioning between a single bridle to a double bridle a lot easier!
