caption_attribution_description: a pelham bit with port mouthpiece and curb chain. Un pelham à canons brisés. Les branches disposent d'un degré de liberté en rotation par rapport aux canons. Les anneaux supérieurs sont fixés aux montants du bridon. Les anneaux intermédiaires et les anneaux inférieurs sont reliés aux rênes, éventuellement par l'intermédiaire d'une alliance. La gourmette a des anneaux doublés au milieu, au point de contact, pour augmenter le confort du cheval lors de l'action avec la gourmette. Modélisé sous Blender par LardonCru.
context_page_description: A pelham bit is a type of bit used when riding a horse. It has elements of both a curb bit and a snaffle bit. In this respect a pelham bit functions similar to a double bridle, and like a double bridle it normally has "double" reins: a set of curb reins and a set of snaffle reins. Because it has a bit shank and can exert curb-style pressure on the horse, it is considered a curb bit. Like all curb bits, a pelham bit has a mouthpiece, shanks with both purchase and lever arms, a ring for rein attachment at the bottom of the shank, and a curb chain. But like a snaffle bit, a pelham bit also has a bit ring on either side of the mouthpiece. Like some curb bits, a pelham bit usually has "loose" shanks - hinged at the mouthpiece in the same way that the rings of a snaffle bit are hinged. When two sets of reins are used, the snaffle rein generally is wider, to help distinguish it from the curb. A "cowboy pelham" is a western style of loose-jawed curb bit with additional rings at the mouthpiece allowing a second set of reins to be added.
