Full Cheek Snaffles: Secure Guidance for Young and Sensitive Horses

This ported bar has an especially flattened port design. This gives the tongue optimum room. Many horses respond to this with more suppleness and increased chewing. This bit is also well suited to horses that play with their tongues, trying to put their tongue over the bit, as the port prevents this effectively. Therefore this bit is eminently suited to horses that don’t like conventionally shaped bits due to the pressure on the tongue and respond with head-shaking or similar. The full cheek bit sits very quietly and is very stable in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral restriction without the risk of the skin or lips being pinched by the supports. Useful on horses that clearly need more support and guidance around turns, like young and inexperienced ones or very strong ones. The full cheek bit is very popular with show jumpers for turning quickly.

This anatomically correctly shaped bit rests evenly and lightly on tongue and bars, and provides more room and freedom of movement for the tongue. When applied with this bit, the rein will exert pressure evenly on tongue and bars. A lateral squeezing of tongue and bars does not occur. The use of bit guards makes it impossible for the lips to be pinched. Thanks to its slightly domed shape, the comfort bar lies particularly still in the horse"s mouth. Mouthpieces with a slightly domed bar are considered to be particularly gentle and mouth-friendly. This property combined with our beris plastic enables horse and rider communication to be more gentle and relaxed. The comfort bar is particularly suited to young and sensitive horses.

Our new single- and double -jointed plastic mouthpiece is particularly slim in its dimensions - broad contact areas and a low height ensure more comfort even in smaller horse mouths. The surface of the plastic is very smooth and slides well in the mouth, even with horses that produce little saliva. The mouthpiece lies on the tongue and lips with its broad contact surface and, with its smooth profile, subtly merges into a rotated, fitted, olive shape. The joints and middle piece are finely worked, and assembled so as to match the low height of the mouthpiece. We guarantee that the bit rings slide smoothly as a result of the incorporated copper sockets.Precision rein management and subtle communication close to the ideal with the new single- and double-jointed bit from beris!
