Full cheek gag bits: combining balance and lateral guidance

Full cheek gag bits combine the distinctive action of a gag bit with full cheeks that provide additional lateral guidance. This combination is popular with riders who want to help improve their horse's balance while making steering aids clearer and more precise. Full cheek gag bits should be used with gag ropes.

How a gag bit works

Like all gag bits, these models use special gag cheeks that slide through two small rings positioned above the main bit rings. They can be ridden with two reins, four reins or with Pelham straps, allowing the rider to adjust the level of action according to the horse's needs.

When used with four reins, the reins attached to the bit rings provide the action of a conventional snaffle, while the gag reins engage the characteristic gag action. This tends to encourage the horse to bring its nose closer towards the rider and can help improve the balance of horses that tend to travel on the forehand.

The role of the full cheek

The full cheeks provide an additional function that is independent of the gag mechanism. By extending along the sides of the horse's mouth, they limit lateral movement of the bit and make directional aids clearer. They are particularly useful for young horses, horses that require additional guidance, or those that tend to fall through the shoulder in turns.

How to choose a full cheek gag bit

At Mors And More, we recommend choosing the mouthpiece first, considering its shape, material and thickness to suit your horse's individual needs. The cheekpiece design should then be selected according to the desired mechanical action. That is why we offer a wide selection of full cheek gag bits to suit a variety of horses. You can also explore our complete range of gag bits or browse our collection of full cheek bits to compare the different options available.
