The Baby Pelham is a cheekpiece with combined leverage on the poll, justbehind the ears, and the chin. It can be used with one or two reins, but if youchoose to ride with one rein, this must be done with a connection between thelarge and lower loose ring. The strap used for this is called a Pelham strap. Thegreater the leverage effect, the bigger the impact. The Baby Pelham has shortshanks and therefore it has a milder effect than the normal Pelham. This bitcomes with a curb chain, which should be well-fitted.
