Aurion Full Cheek Gag Double Jointed with Lozenge

Suitable for horses that:

• Go flat and strong around a course

• Do not come back between fences

• Lower the head and run through the turn

• Are strong and losing a shoulder at the same time

How it works

Mouthpiece. 14mm, double jointed, with curved cannons angled forward to follow the shape of the tongue. The lozenge lies flat on the tongue rather than standing upright between tongue and palate, so tongue pressure is spread across the width of the tongue. There is no nutcracker action and nothing reaches the palate. Cannons and lozenge are the same alloy throughout.

Cheek piece. On the bit ring it works as a full cheek, with the arms lying along the face to guide the head and hold the bit in position. On the gag rein the mouthpiece slides up the cheekpiece, raising the bit in the mouth, applying poll pressure and rotating the bit slightly onto the tongue and bars. Ridden on two reins with the gag rein brought into play only when it is needed. The combination of lift and lateral guidance is why this cheek is widely used cross country.
