Description
The Premier Equine Full Cheek Snaffle with Copper Lozenge is a double jointed stainless steel horse bit designed to aid steering and encourage acceptance of the bit. Available in sizes 4.5 inch (114mm) to 6 inch (152mm), it is suited to young or green horses and most equestrian disciplines.
- Full cheek design helps with steering by creating a positive action against the horse's cheeks when asked to turn, and prevents the bit being dragged through the horse's mouth
- Can be used with keepers on the bridle to help keep the cheeks vertical
- Double jointed mouthpiece with copper lozenge distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars of the mouth whilst reducing the nutcracker action of a single jointed bit
- Copper is a warm metal which encourages the horse to salivate and mouth on the bit
- Fixed cheeks provide more stability through the reins and are suitable for horses that may be unsure of the bit, as they create less movement
- Made from stainless steel - durable, easy to clean, tasteless and does not rust
- Bit measurements: A = 14mm, B = 165mm
- Please note: for reasons of health and hygiene this bit is non-returnable if removed from the template

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Premier Equine Full Cheek Snaffle with Copper Lozenge come in?
This bit is available in four sizes: 4.5 Inch (114mm), 5 Inch (127mm), 5.5 Inch (140mm), and 6 Inch (152mm).
Why is a full cheek design beneficial for young or green horses?
The full cheek shanks create a positive action against the horse's cheeks when asked to turn, helping with steering. The design also prevents the bit from being dragged through the horse's mouth, making it particularly useful for horses still learning to respond to rein aids.
What is the purpose of the copper lozenge in this bit?
Copper is a warm metal that encourages the horse to salivate and mouth on the bit, which can help the horse accept and settle into the contact. The lozenge also forms part of the double jointed mouthpiece, which distributes pressure more evenly over the tongue and bars whilst reducing the nutcracker action associated with single jointed bits.
Can this bit be used with bit keepers?
Yes. This full cheek snaffle can be used with keepers on the bridle to help keep the cheeks vertical, which can improve the bit's effectiveness and stability.
What are the mouthpiece measurements for this bit?
As per the Premier Equine size guide, the A measurement is 14mm and the B measurement is 165mm.
Can I return this bit if it does not suit my horse?
For reasons of health and hygiene, this bit is non-returnable once it has been removed from the template. Please check the size and suitability carefully before opening.
