Waldhausen Beris Full Cheek Butterfly Bit

We love this bit because the broader surface area of the butterfly bar sits very comfortably in the horse’s mouth to improve rideability.

The butterfly bar is an absolute innovation in the field of mouthpieces. The anatomically correct shape combined with a broader surface in the tongue area creates the optimum amount of room for this sensitive muscle with the possibility of a very gentle effect. Horses show they are feeling at ease by increased chewing and more acceptance of the bit. If a stronger effect on the horse‘s mouth is needed, the angulation of the bit in the mouth can be altered with a sidepiece that acts as a lever. The increased pressure on specific points can achieve the communication desired. When the pressure is reduced, the butterfly mouthpiece goes back to the comfortable position.

The full cheek bit sits very quietly and is very stable in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral restriction without the risk of the skin or lips being pinched by the angled is a very steady bit, no pinching by angled supports.

Useful on horses that need more support and guidance around turns, like young and inexperienced ones or very strong ones. The full cheek bit is very popular with show jumpers for turning quickly.
