Double jointed synthetic full cheek bits

Double jointed synthetic full cheek bits: combining guidance, articulation and comfort

Double jointed synthetic full cheek bits combine three complementary features. The full cheeks provide increased lateral guidance, the double jointed mouthpiece allows greater independence between the two reins while following the horse's natural mouth movements, and the synthetic mouthpiece offers a different feel from traditional metal. This combination is particularly appreciated for young horses, horses in training, or those that benefit from additional stability and clearer directional aids.

Three features, each with a specific function

On a double jointed synthetic full cheek bit, each component contributes differently to the overall action of the bit:

• The full cheeks provide lateral guidance by limiting sideways movement of the bit and making turning aids clearer and easier for the horse to understand.
• The double jointed mouthpiece allows the left and right reins to act more independently while accommodating the horse's natural mouth movements.
• The synthetic material primarily influences the feel of the contact. Its low thermal conductivity and smooth surface are often well accepted by horses that are sensitive to metal mouthpieces.

How to choose a double jointed synthetic full cheek bit

Beyond these common characteristics, several factors should guide your choice, including the mouthpiece thickness, its profile (traditional or anatomical depending on the manufacturer), and the type of synthetic material used (neutral or apple-flavoured, for example). As with any bit fitting decision, selecting the right bit depends as much on the horse's oral conformation as on its individual response to the contact.
