The lozenge lies flat on the tongue rather than standing upright between tongue and palate, so tongue pressure is spread across the width of the tongue. There is no nutcracker action and nothing reaches the palate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheek piece. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA short shank engages quickly and remains forgiving if the rein is held rather than given, which makes it the one to start with. The arms above and below the mouthpiece are close to equal, so poll pressure is loaded as much as bar pressure and the horse is asked to drop and settle rather than draw the nose in. Ridden on the top rein it acts as a fixed cheek snaffle; on the bottom rein the curb chain enters the curb groove, poll pressure is applied and the horse comes into an outline. Pairing a curb with a leather mouthpiece keeps the mouth side of the action soft while the poll and curb do the work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImported \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8249\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Equine Int.
