The AK Waterford Hanging Cheek Bit in German Silver is designed for horses that tend to lean, pull, or become strong. The Waterford mouthpiece features multiple rounded joints linked together, creating a highly flexible structure that prevents the horse from grabbing, leaning, or setting against the bit. The absence of sharp edges and the evenly distributed contact points make this mouthpiece exceptionally soft and light in the horse's mouth. The hanging cheek (Baucher-style) design provides mild poll pressure to encourage flexion, improved balance, and a rounder outline. This combination makes the bit ideal for strong, keen horses that require gentle correction without harshness. The increased mobility of the Waterford discourages leaning while promoting mouthing, relaxation, and natural salivation. Made from premium German Silver—known for its excellent taste, durability, and salivation-enhancing properties—this bit supports comfort, acceptance, and a more responsive ride.
