Expert Blu Hanging Cheek

The Expert Blu mouthpiece is a slightly shaped bit that helps follow the confirmation of the mouth and tongue, the blue sweet iron on the arms of the bit stimulates the horse to mouth better and the lozenge that is made from a copper alloy is a warmer metal that helps the horse accept the bit. The double joint help relieve the nut cracker action giving less pressure on the lips, bars and corners of the tongue and helps the bit follow a better shape through the mouth not exerting any point pressure

The Hanging Cheek

Contrary to popular misconception, the hanging cheek does NOT create poll pressure.

The Hanging Cheek design promotes stillness in the mouth having a single pivot action rather than freedom to slide (see Loose Ring). The top ring positioning and angle suspend the bit in the mouth relieving a % of the bit’s weight off the horse’s tongue.

Ideal for…

A more sensitive horse that doesn’t like too much movement from the bit or that needs relief from tongue pressure. Can also help horses that sit behind the contact lift to seek the contact
