The Hanging Cheek is often used for horses with a high head carriage, using gentle poll pressure to encourage them to lower their heads. May prove good for horses slightly too strong in a snaffle. The double joint spreads the pressure more evenly over the tongue and bars of the mouth, with the roller in the middle giving your horse something to play with, encouraging mouthing and acceptance.
The french link mouthpiece eliminates the nut cracker action and applies pressure to the tongue as well as the bars of the mouth. Â
