The Myler Pelham Low Port MB 04 Bit features the Myler MB04 Level 2 mouth piece which ideal for the young-minded horse who can take longer to bring back & refocus after a spook.
The innovative design of port gives some tongue room, but will rotate onto the tongue if the rider needs a stronger signal. The port gives the tongue room and make it easier for the horse to swallow and to move better.
When activated, the MB04 mouthpiece will first collapse to wrap the outer lips & bars, giving the horse some warning before it acts on top of the tongue.
The Pelham is designed to be used with two reins. The top rein acts just like a snaffle, whilst the bottom rein gives the rider leverage, so they can rotate the mouthpiece downward with less backwards pressure and engaging the curb chain, so the pressure is shared between the mouthpiece and the curb.
Use of “roundings” does not properly combine the two actions, it basically turns the bit into a snaffle, minimising the downwards rotation of the mouthpiece and merely loosening the curb chain.
