The MAX-Control is a double-jointed bit which, at a first glance, cannot be distinguished from other double-jointed loose ring snaffles.However, it is a correction or training bit which locks at a certain angle and thus becomes a straight bar.The bit lies very well in the mouth when the horse is working properly. When the horse opposes the riderŒs hand the more intensive rigid effect occurs.The Pelham is a bit that provides additional lever action on the poll.Pressure is applied to the lower jaw bones by the use of a curb chain. In a way the Pelham is a combination of a Weymouth and a bradoon. Pelhams can be used with one or two reins, which enables different rein options.
