Full Cheek Bits
Designed for clear directional guidance, Fulmer and Full Cheek bits offer enhanced lateral control while maintaining all the gentleness of a standard snaffle. The extended cheek bars provide additional steering support by creating a subtle nudging action against the side of the face when turning.
Key Features:
- Vertical cheek pieces provide clear directional signals
- Prevents the bit from being pulled through the mouth
- Full Cheeks feature fixed cheeks for immediate response
- Fulmers combine loose rings with full cheeks for subtle pre-signals before engagement
Perfect for:
- Young horses learning steering aids
- Horses that need extra directional guidance
- Event horses requiring precise steering on cross country
- Show jumping where accurate turning is essential
- Horses who tend to ignore or evade lateral aids
Each bit features an anatomically-designed mouthpiece that allows proper tongue movement and comfort. Optional bit keepers can be used to maintain optimal bit position and enhance the steering effect.
For maximum effectiveness, we recommend using bit keepers with Full Cheek models to prevent the bit from rotating forward in the mouth. Fulmers combine the steering benefits of full cheeks with the gentle pre-signals of a loose ring, making them particularly suitable for sensitive horses who still need steering support.
