Sprenger Stainless Steel Full Cheek double jointed snaffle with lozenge is a bit often associated with younger horses still finding their balance as the bit does not pull through the mouth under extreme turn conditions. This full cheek snaffle is also used on horses doing showjumping or eventing that may find themselves executing tight turns under competition conditions as it can assist the rider turn the horses head to engage concentration on the obstacle that needs jumping. The double joint with lozenge removes the nut cracker action associate with traditional snaffle design and that can be a major benefit in maintaining the horses co-operation due the improved comfort the design provides for the horse..

Bits with fixed cheeks should fit closely to both mouth corners and must therefore be chosen smaller than loose ring snaffles. Due to the contact of the side part to the corner of the mouth the rider achieves additional support from the rein aids. Recommended for horses with sensitive mouth corners, horses that tend to play with the bit and therefore give the rider an unsteady contact and for horses that tend to fall out whilst riding or approaching an obstacle.

• Allows direct pressure transmission on the tongue and lower jaw due to the fixed mouthpiece.
• Lies steady in the horses mouth, gentle on the corners of the mouth.
• The lateral contact helps horses that tend to fall out whilst riding or approaching an obstacle.
• Side parts prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth.
• Thickness: 14mm
• Ring Diameter: 50mm

Material: Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chrome and nickel and has a high breaking strength. It is neutral in taste, has no saliva activating properties and therefore does not increase the mouthing activity of a horse. All Sprenger products use high grade stainless steel to fulfil the highest quality standards.
