Korsteel kimblewick hard rubber mouth

The top rein ring is located next to the mouth piece, as in a snaffle, and the rein that attaches to it is therefore called the snaffle rein. The lower ring, at the bottom of the shank, is called the curb rein due to its curb action.
Due to the severity of the curb in relation to a snaffle, it should not be used by novice riders. Double reins are also more complicated for a novice to handle.
The Pelham should be ridden mainly off the snaffle rein, with the curb rein only coming into effect when needed.
