Waldhausen Full Cheek Snaffle, double jointed, stainless steel, 12.5 cm

Optimal Guidance and a Stable Position: The Waldhausen Full Cheek Snaffle, double jointed

The Waldhausen Full Cheek Snaffle, double jointed is a fantastic training tool that allows you to give particularly precise and finely tuned aids. The standout feature of this bit is the side bars. These ensure a calm and stable position in your horse's mouth and offer effective lateral guidance, making turning easier and reliably preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth.

The double jointed mouthpiece sits comfortably over the tongue and supports precise, finely dosed rein aids, making it ideal for focused training work. Made from tried-and-tested stainless steel, this bit is extremely durable, easy to care for, and rust-free. It offers a smooth surface with no taste of its own, so stainless steel bits only have a minor effect on your horse's saliva production – ideal for horses that prefer a neutral contact. With compact rings of 5 cm diameter and a thickness adapted to the size (14 mm up to 12.5 cm width, 16 mm from 13.5 cm width), this bit offers optimal comfort for your daily training sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Which horses is a full cheek snaffle particularly suitable for?
The full cheek snaffle is ideal for young horses that are still learning to understand lateral rein aids, as the long bars exert gentle pressure on the outside of the mouth to help show them the way. This bit also provides an excellent frame and stability for horses that tend to drift over the shoulder during turns or those that have a restless mouth.

Why does the bit thickness vary between the different widths?
The thickness of the mouthpiece is matched to the bit width to suit the anatomical space in the horse's mouth. Smaller horses and ponies (up to 12.5 cm) usually have less space, which is why a thickness of 14 mm was chosen here. For larger horses from 13.5 cm width, the 16 mm thickness ensures optimal and gentle pressure distribution.
