What Do You Think Of Roundings With Pelhams?

Two reins are better and easy to use once you are used to them. Possibly roundings for hunting as 2 reins, whip, hip flask and fag can be a struggle!

& Thanks for the replys, very helpful!
 
Might I say poniess-x, that was a little rude to monkey bum13, no need.

I was thinking the same as her

I have, for the record, no problems with roundings

Thanks for reply it helpedd!!!!!!!
 
if you just want the pelham for brakes I think its alright. e.g. in a difficult pony with a child rider they are good.

But I think if you can cope with 2 reins, it is a better bit with 2
 
If it works for you and your horse then it ain't broke and doesn't need fixing. Personal preference, the horse's and yours.

I have never had a horse that will go forwards in a pelham so the only thing I have ever used roundings for are substitute nose and curb straps on hackamores, and they also make really good handles from the D rings on saddles for little people (and not so little people too I might add, very handy "Oh [****]!" straps out hunting!)

Poniess_x, please can you refrain from using text speak and try use correct spelling and punctuation - this is an informative forum and we try and keep general chitchat to the common room and soapbox.

The common room is the place for text speak if you so choose to use it.
 
I always think they defeat the object rather especially for 'detailed' work like schooling, ok maybe for XC suppose

I have been out of the horse world for a while but they used to do split reins which would give a better result than roundings - not sure if you can still get those...

That was a bit unneccessary. I can't see anywhere that the OP used text speak? She's clearly just a kid so why not just ignore the post instead of being so rude?

OP, if you can manage them, use two reins. Don't see the point of roundings, it just gives the horse mixed signals. I hunt my boy in a pelham with 2 reins, I rarely need the bottom rein but it's nice to know I have it when needed.
 
two reins all the way. you can be much gentler on the horse with 2 reins, and more effective. and why go for a pelham if you're going to undo the theory by using 2 reins.

they're aren't difficult with a bit of practice.

I hunt a silly cob in double bridle, with a hunt whip and it's no bother.

, I am fully aware of the implications of being a child and having the ability to type in full, correctly punctuated sentences. I acknowledge the fact that the OP does not use text speak in this post, however in the numerous other posts that she has made today there have been examples.

If it had not have been me saying this, it would have been someone else further along the line.

I'm sorry but saying "someone else would have been horrid if I hadn't" isn't an excuse. I could pick holes in your grammer but won't, because it isn't necessary. This forum is big enough that you can choose to avoid the people you don't like. I would suggest you just ignore the OP! Remember, it's not real life!

I have no issue with the OP at all! If I struggle to understand the meaning of a post then how am I supposed to try and be helpful?

Feel free to pick holes in my grammar by the way - it doesn't bother me in the slightest!
 
Is my biggest hate in the horse world I think, particularly at shows. If you cant use two reins (and its REALLY not that hard) then pick a bit which is designed to be used on one rein. Its very simple.
(I can see a very small argument for them hunting/XC if its what the horse is used to, but definitely not for everyday use)
 
I'm not a fan at all Ponies. I do realise that they work okay for some horse/rider combinations but I think that it makes it impossible to NOT use the curb action - curb action should really be only used selectively and so two reins are necessary. Roundings tend to be used by riders relying on curb action for "brakes"!!
 
Don't like them really, defeats the purpose of the pelham.

Riding with two reins is not difficult and you improve quickly with practice. So unless you are very very novice (in which case I would question whether you should be using a pelham) I think that two reins should be used.

However I can see that for XC and hunting people may struggle with their knitting and prefer to use roundings. I think the long term aim should still be to use two reins though.

I don't think roundings should be used in the show ring or for flat schooling really.
