Stubben 2272 Single Jointed Stainless Steel Full Cheek Snaffle

2272 Stainless Steel Full Cheek Snaffle Single Jointed

The full cheek snaffle is characterised, as the name suggests, by its stable side cheeks. These cheeks offer various advantages and have a specific effect on the horse. The cheeks exert lateral pressure on the horse’s cheeks, supporting lateral guidance and limitation, which is particularly helpful in the training of young horses. They also provide the rider with more stable control and help maintain an even connection to the horse’s mouth. Since the cheeks stabilise the bit, the pressure on the horse's mouth can be distributed more evenly and gently. This promotes softer communication between rider and horse and can help the horse accept the bit better and move more relaxed.

The pressure on the outside of the bit supports bending and makes it easier for the horse to understand the rider’s aids. The single-jointed mouthpiece lies calmer in the mouth than a double-jointed mouthpiece and distributes pressure over the bars of the horse, with the central joint reducing pressure on the tongue. The cheeks provide clear lateral stabilization and guidance, ensuring a steady position of the bit in the horse’s mouth. The small bit rings result in more direct action with this bit.
