AB Full Lozenge Hanging Cheek
encourages a horse to move towards and push his tongue forward to the
contact .As the reins are used together the whole mouthpiece wraps
around the tongue and lower jaw, taking in the whole of the tongue the
sides of the lips and the sides of the bars and the sides of the lips in
a perfect hoop. As the Round Lozenge is the correct length and the
joints are neat and non invasive the Horse should move forward into the
contact. Both branches of the bit are curved forward to go with the
shape of the Horses tongue and roof of the mouth a. Good young Horse
starter Bit.Very useful for Horses or Ponies that are uncomfortable withA large joint or joints
Large long plates or lozenges
That block on one side as you flex or turn
or are very busy in the mouth
or do not draw the contact forward
The Hanging Cheek
As you fasten the cheek of your Bridle into the top staple of the cheek,
some of the weight of the bit is taken off the Horses tongue and onto
the Bridle and because of the small side cheek the bit is stabilised in
the Horses mouth, when rein pressure is applied and then released the
bit returns to the same place in the Horses mouth because of the cheek
attachment. The rein attaches to the larger ring and as it is used you
get a little downward mouth pressure but as some people think no real
poll action, it is a fallacy that hanging cheek creates poll action as
the rein rolls to the top of the ring before the bit is activated. A
very useful cheek if you want stability for the mouthpiece and flexible
support from the cheek.
