Side Piece

Full Cheek Snaffle

The full cheek snaffle lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It ensures reliable lateral guidance without the risk of pinching skin and lips due to the angled shanks. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. With a narrow lower jaw, the joints can press on the bars. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material
