With no joint there is nothing to close on the bars, nothing to rise towards the palate and nothing to pinch at the lips, and rein pressure is spread across the full width of the tongue. A stainless steel wire core runs through the whole length, so under contact the bar takes a shallow curve and follows the shape of the tongue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheek piece. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe upper cheek holds the bit to the bridle cheekpiece, so the mouthpiece stays in one position in the mouth. It does not drop onto the incisors, slide sideways, or move when the hand moves. The cheeks lie flat against the face and pressure is concentrated on the bars. A hanging cheek does not create poll pressure: with no lower shank and no curb chain there is no leverage, and cheekpiece tension reduces rather than increases when the rein is taken.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROBYN'S TACK ROOM ","offers":[{"title":"Silver \/ 4.5\"","offer_id":67712261292128,"sku":"8259-45","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 4.75\"","offer_id":67712261324896,"sku":"8259-475","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 5\"","offer_id":67712261357664,"sku":"8259-5","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 5.25\"","offer_id":67712261390432,"sku":"8259-525","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 5.5\"","offer_id":67712261423200,"sku":"8259-55","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 6\"","offer_id":67712261455968,"sku":"8259-6","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/1772\/6560\/files\/Full-Leather-Hanging-Cheek-with-Straight-Bar-01.jpg?v=1793314246","url":"https:\/\/robynstackroom.co.nz\/products\/full-leather-hanging-cheek-with-straight-bar","provider":"ROBYN'S TACK ROOM ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
