The Drop Cheek is a unique horse bit offered by Bombers Bits. It features an Eggbutt like ring at the mouthpiece for the rein, with an upper cheek that has a ring at its end, to which the cheek piece of the bridle is attached. This design ensures that the mouthpiece does not slide on its ring, resulting in only slight poll pressure. Additionally, the cheek pieces lie flat against the horse’s face, and the mouthpiece is quite fixed in the mouth, concentrating pressure on the bars.

This bit is a popular choice among riders due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over the tongue and bars. The offset centre link also reduces the nutcracker action and pressure points on the tongue. Furthermore, adding the Lock Up removes the nutcracker action of the conventional snaffle, meaning less pressure on the bars.

Features:

• The curved mouthpiece distributes pressure more evenly over the tongue and bars
