Finesse Hanging Cheek
The Finesse mouthpiece for this small pony but is 10mm and has a curve to the mouthpiece When it sits in a tony mouth it follows the line of the tongue and compliments the conformation inside a tiny mouth
The Hanging Cheek means that as you fasten the cheek of your Bridle into the top staple of the cheek, some of the weight of the bit is taken off the Horses tongue and onto the Bridle and because of the small side cheek the bit is stabilised in the Horses mouth, when rein pressure is applied and then released the bit returns to the same place in the Horses mouth because of the cheek attachment. The rein attaches to the larger ring and as it is used you get a backward mouth pressure but no poll action, it is a fallacy that hanging cheek creates poll action as the rein rolls to the top of the ring before the bit is activated. An excellent cheek if you are doing several different things in one snaffle it has a very supportive cheek and a defined action
