The pinchless hanging cheek snaffle is also sometimes referred to as a half cheek snaffle or filet baucher bit. The cheek of a hanging cheek bit is similar to the top section of a pelham, and exerts a little poll pressure which can help reluctant horses to break at the poll and flex more readily. The arms of the Korsteel pinchless hanging mouth snaffle contain an internal bushing system, which permits either side of the bit to rotate independently of the other side. The jointed snaffle mouthpiece acts like a nutcracker on the bars, and will often contact with the horses palate. An ideal bit to use in a dressage test for horses used to being ridden in a jointed pelham or jointed continental bit.
