Hanging Cheek
The Hanging Cheek is also known as the Filet Baucher, it uses pressure
on the poll as the cheek piece has an extra ring above the snaffle ring
where the bridle cheek pieces are attached to, this poll pressure
encourages the horse to lower the head and come on to the bit especially
useful for horses that have a high head carriage. This cheek has proven
one of the most popular cheeks with various mouthpieces. It is a fixed
cheek bit, which may be useful for horses that are unsure of the bit, as
it doesnt move around too much in the mouth. It may prove a suitable
alternative to a snaffle, for children riding ponies that need an extra
bit of help to stop, or horses that are slightly too strong in a
snaffle.
