This stainless steel bit combines the jointed snaffle with the full cheek.A useful bit for young or green horses that need training.The full cheek design encourages the horse to keep their head straight while putting pressure onto the face when turning to help with steering.It also stops the bit being pulled though the mouth.The jointed snaffle uses the standard nutcracker action so when the reins are pulled by the rider the joint lifts up towards the roof of the mouth creating a triangle and nut cracker action.this bit should be used with fulmer keepers.These are loops which attach to the upper cheek of the bit and onto the bridle.They keep the bit in place,stop it rotating and create a mild poll pressure.
