Shires Hanging Cheek Snaffle Bit

This bit lies flat against the horse's face and is quite fixed in the mouth because of the way it attaches to the bridle. This bit has an eggbutt-like ring at the mouthpiece for a rein and a small ring to which the cheekpieces of the bridle are attached. It has a more elevated position on the horse's tongue and concentrates pressure on the bars and without leverage, these bits don't exert poll pressure. A good snaffle for horses that tolerate very little bit movement in their mouths.
