I am 100% sure that I could give my 6 year old a bridle and a pelham and he would know which way round it fits, just LOOK at the bit, it has a curb chain and there is only one place for that to lie, and what about the curb hooks - surely the fact that they are upside down should have told you something?

I actually have an eight year old who can most certainly put a pelham on correctly, though to her credit she does keep trying to ride the loopy little thing in a snaffle, but for some reason buried in his past, he is attached to his jointed pelham.
I've just read this entire thread and concluded that if you put a picture of yourself up saying 'how do I look' when you are dressed from head to toe in fuschia, with your bit upside down, you should expect to be pulled to pieces. In fact, I can't think of a circumstance personally when asking 'how do I look' *hasn't* been a mistake! It's probably best not to compound the problem by claiming many years of experience.
Had I been Sophie my defence would have been not that the friend had fitted the bit, but that the picture was the friend, the horse was the friend's, the bit was the friend's, and she had stolen my identity while I was out having my chainsaw sharpened.
