A pelham bit acts like a snaffle and curb combined into one mouthpiece.
Two sets of reins are used:
- The "upper" set
- Attached directly to the rings that lie in line with the mouthpiece, works like a snaffle or nonleverage bit
2. The "lower" set
- Attached to the end of short shanks, works like a curb or leverage bit.
