{"product_id":"aster-confidence-titanium-double-jointed-lock-up-full-cheek","title":"Aster Confidence Titanium Double Jointed Lock Up Full Cheek","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Aster Confidence titanium double-jointed lock-up full cheek is designed to provide stability and reassurance while maintaining a softer, more even feel across the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCrafted from premium titanium, the mouthpiece maintains gentle warmth in the mouth. The central double joint distributes pressure more evenly than a traditional single joint, supporting horses who prefer a flatter, more accommodating feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe subtle lock-up mechanism prevents over-collapse of the mouthpiece, maintaining straightness and stability without creating rigidity. This allows rein aids to be applied consistently and encourages a softness of contact by minimising pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe full cheek provides a consistent, measured connection, encouraging steadiness and confidence for horses who can become anxious or inconsistent with lighter or more mobile designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA considered option for developing horses, sensitive mouths, or those seeking greater stability without excess interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA full cheek sidepiece provides quiet lateral support, helping to guide the horse without increasing pressure within the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe extended arms sit alongside the lips, offering gentle directional influence when turning. This can be particularly helpful for horses who drift through the shoulder, fall out through the outside rein, or are still developing straightness and understanding of rein aids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUnlike leverage-based cheekpieces, a full cheek does not amplify rein pressure. Instead, it supports stability and clarity, allowing the rider to give more defined directional guidance while maintaining a steady contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor younger horses or those in earlier stages of education, this added stability can encourage confidence\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aster Bits","offers":[{"title":"125mm","offer_id":54836598473046,"sku":"C2-DJ-T-FC 125","price":122.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"135mm","offer_id":54836598505814,"sku":"C2-DJ-T-FC 135","price":122.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"145mm","offer_id":54836598538582,"sku":"C2-DJ-T-FC 145","price":122.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/1584\/4950\/files\/aster-confidence-titanium-double-jointed-lock-up-full-cheek-2775-p.png?v=1785314714","url":"https:\/\/horsebits.co.uk\/products\/aster-confidence-titanium-double-jointed-lock-up-full-cheek","provider":"Horsebits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
