pelham

[caroline/halle]

does anyone have a mullen mouth, flexible rubber pelham 5.5 inch, also need a leather or elestic curb?

also anyone have any idea where to get thin reins? (for the curb rein?)

I have that bit, but really don't want to part with it. You just need half-inch plain reins for the curb. Same length as your other reins. If you want them to be properly correct, they need to be stitched together rather than buckled together where they join in the middle. (we make lots of them).

mullen mouth has a slight curve to it to allow for tongue usually

This is a mullen mouth Rugby Pelham which can also be used for showing if you do any or have plans to show your horse in the future. I ride my mare in this for every day riding she goes really well in it.

is this : http://www.cybercheckout.co.uk/products/korsteel-flexi-mullen-mouth-pelham.html
the same as this :http://www.goytmill.com/detail.jsp?pid=3034988&id=3034992&src=froogle

the first says it is softer, and i was thinking of getting it as the mouthpiece looks narrower, but i dont want to get the first if its not going to work as well as the second one, which is what i was using in my last lesson?

I use a rubber pelham for my boy. He loves it. Not used the flexi but the could the flex potential blur the curb action? Not convinced by it. A thick rubber pelham, with gentle hands is a very gentle bit. he has quite a fleshy mouth and the rubber is not too thick.

ok so i have my rubber pelham and elastic curb, the pelham came with a chain already on it (couldnt find one without) it unlinks on one side but not the other?
any ideas how i can switch the chain for the elastic?

You just need a pair of pliers to open the hook a little, shouldn't be a difficult job

ah thought it was something technical! lol how do i know what ring to attach it to the bit? (mine has three rings on each side)
also how do i fit it? the one i used had a leather curb already on so not sure

Fit it so it comes into action when the shank of the bit is at 45 degrees to the vertical using the bottom rein only
