I show my lad in a double. He goes best in that as I can ride mainly off the snaffle. He's hacked out in a wilkie

I know what you mean. I've tried him in various different pelhams with smaller mouthpieces and he just set his neck and leaned on them.
I've seen quite a few fells in swales bits but they are meant to be quite strong.
I searched around and managed to find quite thin bits so they don't take up too much space

My Welsh D went much better in a rugby pelham than a double, due to her short mouth. Only one mouthpiece but the best compromise of having two separate actions from the two reins of any pelham.
