Open showing classes generally dictate (or at least prefer) a double bridle for maximum smartness. However, not all horses like two bits in their mouth. And sometimes the extra leather headpiece on the bridle just creates a look of too much bridle, not enough head!
The Slimma Show Pelham from Neue Schule is the perfect solution. The smartness of the double bridle "look", but with a pelham. One mouthpiece and no extra headpiece, but with the illusion of the double.
The snaffle ring is both positioned and engineered to turn freely, allowing the rider to differentiate to a greater degree between the snaffle and curb reins. The loose ring is advantageous for horses that are wooden, lean or tend to over bend in the traditional Pelham.
Often referred to as the Show Pelham as it is very popular for showing classes.
