The hanging cheek bit is a fixed cheek bit that promotes flexion, making it particularly useful for horses with a high head carriage. It can also benefit horses that are unsure of the bit, as mouth movement is limited.

The double-jointed mouthpiece with a brass alloy pad distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and mouth bars while promoting salivation and helping the horse to calm and focus. The soft blue iron oxidizes easily, creating a warm feeling and sweet taste in the horse's mouth, which helps him accept the bit. Please note that the blue color will fade with use, which is normal.

Measurements: According to our size guide, the A and B measurements of this bit are: A=13mm, B=100mm.

Blue sweet iron bits oxidize easily, creating a warm, sweet taste in the horse's mouth, causing him to salivate. Some horses often prefer the warm feeling of soft iron over stainless steel, which is naturally cooler. This makes soft iron bits ideal for sensitive horses or those that need encouragement to accept the bit. Pair your hanging cheek bit with one of our anatomical bridles.

For health and hygiene reasons, this bit cannot be returned if removed from the model.
