Full Cheek Rubber Covered Jointed Snaffle

The full cheek rubber covered jointed snaffle is a useful bit for green horses, as the full cheek prevents the bit from being able dragged through the horses mouth. This Full cheek snaffle has a rubber covered jointed mouthpiece which cushions the effect of the nutcracker action on the bars. Full 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. 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.
