Description
Mackey Flexi Full Cheek Mullen Mouth Snaffle
The Mackey Flexi Full Cheek Mullen Mouth Snaffle is an excellent choice for young horses, sensitive horses and those that prefer a softer-feeling bit. Its high-quality polyurethane mouthpiece is moulded around a durable stainless steel core, providing strength and reliability with a warmer feel than a traditional stainless steel mouthpiece.
The rippled mullen mouthpiece applies gentle, even pressure across the tongue and bars, encouraging a steady contact without the nutcracker action of a jointed bit. The full cheek design provides additional lateral guidance, helping to improve steering and prevent the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth.
