Price: From £35.08
** This product has a flexible mouth, which by its very nature is more easily damaged than metal. It is most important that the bit is of the correct size and that it lies central in the horses mouth. It is essential that it is fitted correctly so that it will not become chewed. Horses teeth should be regularly checked and it is dangerous to continue to use a marked bit **
Made from Polyurethane plastic which provides a nice soft and gentle touch to the horses mouth.
An apple flavour which has been added to the plastic, helps horses to accept the bit without resistance.
Flexible, wire reinforced centre core
Full Cheek Bits:
Full Cheek bits are a fixed cheek bit, this may be useful for horses that are a bit unsure of the bit as it doesn't move around to much in the mouth, it should encourage the horse to stretch into the contact. A fixed bit would be less suitable if your horse is prone to leaning or taking hold of the bit. Full cheek bits are very useful for breaking in, or bringing on of young horses, as they help tremendously with the turning aids, and the full cheek bit does not slide through the mouth as would a normal snaffle if your horse doesn't like to turn. The bit is particularly useful for horses that nap, as the bit will help if the horse suddenly turns. The full cheek bit works by applying pressure to the cheek when a turning aid is given.
