Full Cheek Pletcher Teardrop Bit

Individually handmade, the Teardrop Full Cheek bit is designed after the Peter Pletcher snaffle.

This bit is hand crafted from start to finish using high quality copper and stainless steel. The use of copper in the mouth encourages bit acceptance and mouth moisture helping to keep your horse soft. Copper also warms quickly to the mouth creating a pleasant feel and is considered a "soft" metal. Ideal for strong, fussy or forward horses, this bit helps to lighten the front end and encourage self carriage. The cannons on our design are created to offer a greater freedom of movement in order to allow your horse to find the most comfortable fit. 

A classic Full Cheek with solid copper teardrop shaped cannons and stainless steel center links. This lightweight bit is anatomically designed for the horse’s mouth. The center links allow for precise communication on each side of the mouth while the full cheeks help with lateral direction and stearing. The Teardrop Full Cheek bit is custom made to our specifications with sliding cannons and hand polished to a smooth finish. Don't forget the bit loops!
