The ComfortShape Full Cheek reimagines the Waterford concept through a comfort-first lens while leveraging the directional aid and lateral stability of traditional full cheeks. This innovative 12mm design features a smoothed multi-link mouthpiece paired with our fixed-arm full cheek structure, making it especially suitable for horses that need encouragement through the turns while also benefiting from reduced movement in the mouth. Our refined German silver multi-link system features contoured, rounded segments that gently discourage leaning while dispersing pressure across a broader area than traditional Waterfords. The slimmer 12mm diameter is a smart choice for horses with limited vertical room in the mouth due to thick tongues or low palates, providing clarity without bulk. The full cheek’s fixed lateral arms offer excellent steering support and help prevent bit migration - ideal for experienced horses that benefit from a steadier signal. When used with keepers, the bit becomes even more stable, promoting consistent positioning and reducing internal movement. Crafted from German silver (a copper-nickel-zinc alloy), the mouthpiece quickly warms to mouth temperature and develops a mild taste that some horses find inviting, enhancing acceptance and relaxation.
