Description
Premier Equine Brass Alloy Hanging Cheek with Waterford Mouth
- The Hanging Cheek is a fixed cheek bit which helps encourage flexion, making this bit is especially useful for horses with a high head carriage.
- Can also be useful for horses that are unsure of the bit as it has limited movement in the mouth.
- The Waterford mouthpiece is comprised of a series of ball shaped links, making it completely movable in all directions.
- This is particularly popular for combating issues such as leaning, taking hold of the bit and jaw setting.
- When the horse tries to take hold of the bit the mouthpiece collapses, leaving the horse with nothing rigid to take hold of.
- This hanging cheek Waterford is ideal for stronger horses who may also have a high head carriage.
- Should be worn 1/4″ – 1/2″ wider than standard to work effectively.
- Ideally used by experienced riders.
- This bit is NOT BD Legal.
- Bit strength: Moderate.
Brass Horse Bits
- Brass alloy bits are warm, durable and they encourage the horse to salivate as well as easily accept the bit.
- Ideal for a range of horses, especially those that need encouragement to mouth and accept the bit.
