Description
Fulmer jointed snaffle is similar to the full cheek, but with loose rings outside the cheeks to retain the communication found with a loose ring bit. The fulmer cheek also prevents the bit from being able dragged through the horses mouth. This Fulmer snaffle has jointed mouthpiece that acts like a nutcracker on the bars, and will often contact with the horses palate. Fulmer cheek bits are often used on young horses to aid steering, as the cheek gives a more positive action against the cheek when the rider asks for a turn.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Lorina Loose Ring Jointed Fulmer differ from a standard full cheek snaffle?
The Fulmer is similar to a full cheek snaffle but features loose rings on the outside of the cheeks. This retains the lateral communication associated with a loose ring bit while still benefiting from the cheek's ability to prevent the bit from being dragged through the horse's mouth.
Why is the Fulmer cheek design particularly useful for young horses?
The cheek pieces give a more positive action against the side of the horse's face when the rider asks for a turn, making the Fulmer a popular choice for young horses where additional steering aid is beneficial.
How does the jointed mouthpiece act in the horse's mouth?
The jointed mouthpiece works in a nutcracker action on the bars and may also make contact with the horse's palate. Riders should be aware of this palate contact when considering this bit for their horse.
Does the Fulmer cheek prevent the bit from slipping through the horse's mouth?
Yes. The Fulmer cheek design prevents the bit from being dragged through the horse's mouth, which is one of its key advantages over a plain loose ring snaffle.
