Beris full cheeks bits

Beris full cheek bits: combining lateral guidance with comfortable contact

Beris full cheek bits are designed for riders seeking greater lateral guidance while benefiting from the wide range of mouthpieces offered by Beris. The combination of full cheeks and food-grade synthetic resin mouthpieces addresses two distinct aspects of bit function: the full cheeks improve stability and directional guidance, while the mouthpiece determines how the horse experiences contact inside the mouth.

Why choose a full cheek bit?

The full cheeks extend above and below the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's mouth, helping to prevent the bit from sliding laterally. They provide a guiding effect that makes steering aids clearer, particularly for young horses, horses in training, or those that benefit from more precise and consistent lateral guidance through bends and changes of direction.

The mouthpiece geometry remains the determining factor in how pressure is distributed across the tongue, bars, and lips.

Beris mouthpieces for a variety of needs

Beris full cheek bits are available with a range of mouthpiece designs to suit different oral conformations and individual sensitivities.

• Single and double jointed mouthpieces provide an articulated action, with varying levels of flexibility depending on the joint configuration.
• Straight mouthpieces offer a more stable contact and less independent action between the two reins.

The Comfort, Comfort Thin, Konnex, Butterfly Bit, and tongue relief mouthpiece designs allow riders to further refine their choice according to the available space in the horse's mouth, the amount of tongue relief required, and the type of contact sought.

Beris resin: available in different levels of flexibility

Beris mouthpieces are manufactured from food-grade synthetic resin, a material valued for its smooth surface, low thermal conductivity, and warmer feel compared with metal. Riders often appreciate this material because it can encourage some horses—particularly those sensitive to cold metal or seeking a softer, more comfortable contact—to accept the bit more readily. Depending on the model, Beris offers different resin flexibilities (soft or hard). These variations mainly affect the flexibility of the mouthpiece and the feel of the contact without altering the bit's underlying mechanical action.
