Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Shires Soft Rubber Covered Full Cheek Snaffle come in?
This snaffle is available in three sizes: 4.5 Inch (114mm), 5 Inch (127mm), and 5.5 Inch (140mm).
Why choose a rubber covered mouthpiece on a full cheek snaffle?
The soft rubber covering creates a thicker, gentler surface in the horse's mouth compared to a plain metal mouthpiece. This makes it a considerate choice for younger horses being introduced to bitting or for horses that go better with a softer contact.
What does the full cheek design do on this Shires snaffle?
The full cheek arms sit against the sides of the horse's face, helping to prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth and assisting with lateral steering aids - particularly useful when working with younger or less experienced horses.
