With no joint there is nothing to close on the bars, nothing to rise towards the palate and nothing to pinch at the lips, and rein pressure is spread across the full width of the tongue. A stainless steel wire core runs through the whole length, so under contact the bar takes a shallow curve and follows the shape of the tongue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheek piece. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe action depends on the position of the rider's hands. The rein slides on the Dee shaped bit ring, so if the hands are lowered before pressure is applied the rein travels about an inch and the bit takes up roughly a 45 degree angle in the mouth, acting downward and backward on the lower jaw with downward pressure on the poll. The result is a lowering action rather than a lifting one. Three rein positions increase or decrease the pressure, so the range of a Pelham is available from a single rein.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImported \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8258 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Equine Int.
