## Overview

The Shires Equestrian Hanging Cheek Snaffle Bit is a 5.5-inch steel bit weighing just 18.1 grams, designed for precise, lightweight control. Its durable hanging cheek design offers balanced leverage, making it ideal for professional riders seeking both performance and comfort.

## Description

The Hanging Cheek Snaffle Has Been Made From Stainless Steel, Which Is Easy To Clean And Non Marking. The Hanging Cheek Snaffle Works Because Of The Angle Of The Bit Within The HorseS Mouth. The Bit, When Fitted Correctly And With 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 Single Joint Creates Nutcracker Action Within The Mouth, So Is Considered To Be More Severe Than The French Link Or Lozenge
