The Sprenger MAX-Control full cheek is a double jointed bit which, at first glance, cannot be distinguished from other double jointed loose ring snaffles. However, it is a correction or training bit which locks at a certain angle and thus becomes a straight bar.
The bit lies very well in the mouth when the horse is working properly. When the horse opposes the rider's hand the more intensive rigid effect occurs. The bit unlocks immediately when the contact gets softer.
The lateral contact of the full cheek helps horses that tend to fall out whilst riding or approaching an obstacle.
