pelham bit. A good view of the bit hanging on the left side of the image. Used by very experienced riders/horses with two sets of leather strings on each side of the articulated bit. It allows the rider to communicate twice as many signals to the horse. I knew Whoa, Getty-up, Left and Right…

Not a clue.

Certainly more bit than I’d need as I know the same signals you do.
