Korsteel Stainless Steel Jointed Fulmer Snaffle Bit

The Korsteel Stainless Steel Jointed Fulmer Snaffle Bit is similar to the full cheek, but with loose rings outside the cheeks to retain the communication found with a loose ring bit.

The fulmer cheek also prevents the bit from being able dragged through the horses mouth.

This Fulmer snaffle has jointed mouthpiece that acts like a nutcracker on the bars, and will often contact with the horses palate.

Fulmer cheek bits are often used on young horses to aid steering, as the cheek gives a more positive action against the cheek when the rider asks for a turn.

Fulmer and full cheek snaffles should be used with fulmer loops which secure the top of the bit to the cheekpieces to prevent the bit from rotating and leaving the cheeks pointing out which could pose a hazard. By securing the cheek, it also allows a very small amount of poll pressure to come into play, helping to encourage a lower outline.
