You are searching in the wrong place. you should never use any kind of equipment to substitute for training. Forget the bit, train your horse, or get someone who can.

How do i explain to someone what the port is when refering to a pelham bit.?
Try this site, it has a picture with an explanation:Pelham bit, used with a bit converter so only one rein is used. Even though the mouthpiece is jointed, this is a pelham, not a "snaffle." Note it also is one bit with two rings for reins, making it different from the double bridle, which uses two bits.A pelham is a type of curb bit used when riding a horse. It consists of a mouthpiece, a shank, a curb chain, 2 rein rings per side on the shank, and one cheekpiece ring on the top of the shank. The top rein ring is located next to the mouthpiece, as in a snaffle, and the rein that attaches to it is thus called the snaffle rein. The lower ring, at the bottom of the shank, is called the curb rein due to its curb action. Due to the severity of the curb in relation to a snaffle, it should not be used by novice riders. Double reins are also more complicated for a novice to handle. The pelham should be ridden mainly off the snaffle rein, with the curb rein only coming into effect when needed. Often, a bit converter, also known as a pelham rounding, is used so a pelham can be used with only one rein. This is especially helpful in the cross-country phase of eventing, so that when the reins are slipped only one must be shortened. However, use of a converter is illegal in most other horse show classes. If used with two reins, the snaffle rein should be wider to help distinguish it from the curb. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelham_bit

Hi It depends what you want your horse to do. If you arte having trouble stopping and your horse has a plain snaffle you could try a 3 ring snaffle on the lower rings or a dutch gag. For dressage a doiuble bridle is allowed in certain levels but a french link snaffle or and eggbutt snaffle would be better if not a double. Hope this helps.

What kind of horse should have a full cheek snaffle bit?
Its is not the "kind" of horse that determines the type of bit you should use it is the discipline and training level of the horse that determines it. A full cheek snaffle should be used on a horse being ridden english. It is a fairly mild bit that can be used on horses of all training levels. The cheeks pieces are there mainly to prevent the bit from slipping from side to side in the horses mouth but it does provide a bit more action in the horses mouth than a loose ring snaffle.
