Bit converter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bit converter is used on pelham bits to change them from two-rein bits to one-rein bits. It is a leather strap that attaches from the snaffle ring to the curb ring. The rein is then attached to the loop made between the two rings. A bit converter is very helpful when riding the cross-country phase of eventing, so that a rider using a pelham does not have to keep track of two reins as opposed to one. A bit converter is also frequently known as 'roundings' or 'pelham roundings'.
