to go on my pelham

 

[lucemoose]

So its just an adjustable leather curb instead of a metal curb chain? It should be adjusted so that when you take a pull on the pelham, it should start to come into play when the cheeks are at about 45 degrees (no silly degree symbol!) Does that make sense??

 

[asbo]

i can not actually get it on my pelham, it is like a flash strap & i have no idea how to fit it

 

[ThomasTank]

where are you stuck ???

 

[asbo]

on how to get the ruddy thing on & what to do with the curb hooks

 

[ThomasTank]

I wonder if a chain would be easier.

Can you ask at your local saddlery

 

[asbo]

he doesnt like the chain & i need to sort it for tomorrow.

just managed to bugger up my lip strap as well, i think i need to go to bed

 

[asbo]

aggggggggggggggg how do i get my ruddy lip strap on it

 

[ThomasTank]

ok, undo the buckle,
slide the piece of leather with the holes in , out of the silver ring.
Put the same bit of lrather through the ring on your bit and then through the small silver ring
and again through the bit ring and small silver ring.
do up buckle

 

[asbo]

but if i do that what do i do with the other bit with a hole in it

wish the bloody horse went in a ruddy snaffle

 

[ThomasTank]

what other bit with a hole in ??

 

[asbo]

my lip strap has one bit with 3 holes on it, then another bit of leather with 1 hole in it.

what do i do with the hole at the end?

[*hic*]

you buckle the buckle end of the lip strap on one side of the bit, then you thread the tail of the other side through the loop and then do up the tail onto the buckle
