Shires Brass Alloy Hanging Cheek With Lozenge

The Shires Equestrian Brass Alloy Hanging Cheek snaffles or baucher bits work because of the angle of the bit within the horse’s mouth. The bit, when fitted correctly and with a steady rein contact, encourages the horse to lower his head carriage, as pressure is applied to the tongue by the mouthpiece when he raises his head too high.

The lozenge removes the nutcracker action within the mouth, making it more comfortable for the horse and encourages a true contact and higher level of responsiveness; the brass alloy mouthpiece encourages salivation. The Brass alloy is copper alloyed with a harder metal to produce warm, durable bits, which aid salivation and are more palatable than stainless steel.
