CheekpieceThe Pelham 75 has attachments for two reins, one near the mouthpiece and one at the end of the shank. These reins have similar action to the curb and bridoon reins in the double bridle.Some riders, not adept at handling two sets of reins, prefer to use rein connectors, leather loops which connect from one ring to the other on the bit shank. The rein is then attached to this rounding.MouthpieceThe Segundo alleviates tongue pressure while keeping an even pressure on the bars, encouraging the horse to stay light to the contact. Horses find it difficult to lean on this mouthpiece or put their tongue over the bit.MaterialOxidizes easilyEncourages salivationHelps bit acceptanceWarm and sweetOur bits should be washed after every use and checked for wear.If the bit has been out of use for some time, a kitchen scourer maybe necessary to remove built up oxidation.
