The full cheek reinforces the turning aid promoting straightness and directional control.  Particularly useful for the young horse in order to establish the bend etc.  Also highly recommended for the novice rider who may not fully support their inside rein as the full cheek will stabilise the mouthpiece therefore not allowing it to slide across the mouth (provided it fits!). 

This innovation is brilliant for the over-active busy mouth that chomps and chews on the mouthpiece.  Turtle Top with Flex keeps the mouthpiece centred and arched over the tongue at all times, safely helping to prevent sideways tongue evasions.  This comfortable mouthpiece re-focuses the inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids in order to achieve a soft consistent contact.
