Full-cheek bits are useful for green or young horses, as they can help them to steer. The bit's branches create a positive action on the horse's cheeks when asked to turn. The full cheek design also prevents the bit from being dragged into the horse's mouth. This bit can be used with bails on the bridle to help keep cheeks vertical. The double-jointed mouthpiece with copper pad distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and mouth bars, while reducing the nutcracker effect of a single-jointed bit. Copper is a hot metal that encourages the horse to salivate and bite the bit.
The fixed cheeks of this bit offer greater stability on the reins and are suitable for horses that are unsure of the bit, as they create less movement. Made from stainless steel, the most commonly used material for horse bits, it is durable, easy to clean, tasteless and will not rust. Ideal for young or green horses and for most equestrian disciplines.

Stainless steel is the most commonly used material for horse bits as it is durable, easy to clean and does not rust. Some of our stainless steel bits feature copper mouthpieces that help create a warm feeling and encourage the horse to salivate and accept the bit. Stainless steel bits are suitable for a wide range of horses and are available in many models, allowing you to choose the bit that's right for your horse and your discipline.
Match your bit with one of our anatomically designed bridles.
Please note that for health and hygiene reasons, this bit is not returnable if removed from the model.
