Expert opinion: The Shires Full Cheek Bit is a single jointed that offers a pleasant light contact. It allows a good relaxation of your horse's mouth by its soft alloy. Unlike the double jointed which acts on the tongue, the single jointed acts on the palate and the sides of the tongue. It is important to know that the palate of the horse is a sensitive area that should not be neglected. It can be recommended for horses that are relatively easy but not very sensitive in the mouth, not very sensitive on the palate or with a hollow palate. A comfortable bit that forms naturally on the tongue due to its anatomy, its alloy gives it a soft contact.  The thinness of its barrel allows to optimize the place of the bit in the mouth of your horse. Ideal for horses with small mouths.

The Full Cheek will allow an excellent lateral framing and a more direct contact of the hand towards the mouth.

 Black Sweet iron : Sweet Iron alloy oxidizes in contact with the humidity of the mouth and the air. The oxidation brings a sweet taste that naturally stimulates the production of saliva. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar that is given to the horse at the beginning of the session but allows to diffuse this sweet taste throughout the work. Therefore, this alloy allows a good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to make contact with the mouthpiece. The oxidation modifies the aspect of the bit during the sessions.
