We love this bit from Jake Adams for the double jointed design and full cheek feature!

The Double Jointed Whistle Mouth Full Cheek Bit combines the moisture promoting whistle mouthpiece with the flexibility of a double joint and the lateral stability of a full cheek design. The double joint reduces palate pressure while the full cheeks prevent the bit from sliding, providing clear and direct steering. This bit is well-suited for horses that benefit from salivation and steady lateral guidance.

Key Features of the Whistle Mouth Mouthpiece:

• Perforated mouthpiece design: The holes in the whistle mouthpiece stimulate salivation and keep the mouth moist, encouraging the horse to stay relaxed and more responsive to the rider’s contact.
• Adaptable construction: Available in straight, curved, or jointed styles, the action of the mouthpiece changes with the cheekpiece it is paired with, ranging from mild snaffle applications to stronger leverage settings.
• Effective for heavier horses: Frequently used on horses that lean or feel strong in the hand, as the design helps maintain engagement and allows the rider to achieve clearer influence without constant pressure.

Double Jointed Features: 

• Even Pressure Distribution: The two joints with a center link reduce palate pressure and distributes contact more evenly across the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth.
• Tongue Pressure Variation: The size and shape of the center link influence how much tongue pressure is applied, making it adaptable for horses with different mouth conformations.
• Greater Mobility: The design allows the mouthpiece to move more freely than a single joint, improving comfort and reducing resistance in many horses.

Full Cheek Design Features: 

• Enhanced Stability: The full cheek design prevents the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth, providing more stable lateral guidance.
• Direct Contact: The extended cheekpieces offer more direct cues, helping horses maintain better balance and stay on track.
• Encourages Responsiveness: The full cheek bit design promotes consistent, gentle guidance, making it easier for the horse to stay engaged and responsive during rides.
