Description
The Neue Schule Waterford Balding Running Cheek Gag is the ideal bit choice for very strong horses that forceably lean on the bit and hang on the rider's reins in evasion - the combination of this mouthpiece and the action of the running cheeks makes it virtually impossible for the horse to grab and hang onto the bit. The loose lever action emphasises the riders rein aids, applying poll pressure for control and asking the horse to come back and listen. Neue Schule have redesigned the classic Waterford mouthpiece - ergonomic LipSMART shelves eradicate rubbing to the sensitive corners of the lips while the flexible, thinner mouthpiece has been designed to suit all types of mouth conformation, including large tongues and fleshy lips.
Neue Schule designed this bit for use with two reins to enable to rider to differentiate between the snaffle action and the running cheek action which provides poll pressure. This bit must always be used in conjunction with bit cheeks to gain the correct pressure distribution. This strong bit offers control for very strong horses and is often selected during faster work such as hunting but should only be employed by knowledgeable riders as misuse of strong bits can cause oral damage.
Available in 5.5 - 6.25"; 14mm mouthpiece thickness
