Poponcini Full Cheek

Product description

Characteristics Poponcini Bits

• Poponcini bits are characterized by having an extremely soft mouthpiece and guarantee optimal comfort for the sensitive horse's mouth.
• The shape of the mouthpiece allows a horse to close its mouth properly, which means that it will relax more quickly and be much calmer with its head and tongue.
• A Poponcini bit is formed in Italy by a metal wire, covered with plastic, and a brass bush at the ends. A non-toxic, anti-allergic silicone layer is poured over this.
• Poponcini bits made of this soft material are also called the HARMONY line.

Bits made of this type of soft material have a shorter life than bits from metal.

PLEASE NOTE: Because Poponcini bits are so soft, we can NOT give any WARRANTY on these bits!

Full cheek:

• The side pieces of a full cheek have 2 bars on the side and therefore cannot be pulled through the mouth.
• These bars create more pressure on the horse's cheeks, which makes maneuverability easier.
• A full cheek is stable and quiet in the mouth, ideal for training young horses.
• Depending on the type, thickness and material, a full cheek is given a sharper or softer effect.

Full Cheek Loops:

• To make a full cheek even more effective, a full cheek loop can be attached to the cheek piece of the bridle on either side of the bit.
• The end of the top bar is pushed through this.
• Leverage is created by using these loops.
• Prevents the bars from getting caught under the noseband of the bridle.

Straight mouthpiece features:

• A straight mouthpiece consists of 1 piece and gives pressure on the tongue, layers and lips.
• The shape and thickness of the mouthpiece determine where the pressure will be in the mouth.
• A straight mouthpiece with a tongue port gives more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free.
• The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.
