Some riders choose to ride a Pelham with a single rein. In that case, a Pelham strap connects the two rein attachment points. This creates a practical solution where the rein can move freely through the strap while the bit's action is supported evenly. The TRUST Pelham Strap Short is made from high-quality European full-grain leather and forms a compact connection between the rings of the Pelham. Thanks to its short design, the rings stay closer together, while the rein can still glide smoothly through the strap.

The Pelham Strap Short
The Pelham Strap Short connects the upper rein ring to the lower ring of a Pelham, allowing the bit to be ridden with a single rein. Because the rein moves freely through the strap, the connection stays supple and the Pelham's action can build up naturally. The short version keeps the distance between the rings compact, so the whole assembly sits neatly against the bit, creating a calm, stable connection.

The Pelham Strap Short is often chosen for:

• Riders riding a Pelham with a single rein
• Jumping and eventing combinations
• Combinations wanting a compact finish
• Riders who want to support the action of a Pelham in a practical way

The material
The TRUST Pelham Strap Short is made from high-quality European full-grain leather. This supple, durable leather retains its quality with daily use and matches TRUST's other leather products. Thanks to the high-quality finish, the strap continues to move smoothly while withstanding intensive use.

When riding a Pelham with a single rein, KNHS and FEI regulations require the use of a connecting strap. Always check the most current competition regulations for the conditions that apply within your discipline.
