The cheekpieces that complete a gag bit. Without them, the bit cannot exert its action: they transmit pressure to the poll and help lift the forehand.
They combine cord and 16 mm buffalo leather. This is not an aesthetic choice: the cord slides through the bit rings much better than leather alone, making the action clear and immediate rather than dampened by friction. Buffalo leather, denser than cowhide, withstands tension without stretching. Stainless steel buckles and rings.
✨ Key features
- ✔ Clear action — the cord slides where leather slows it down
- ✔ 16 mm buffalo leather — dense and does not stretch under tension
- ✔ Stainless steel hardware — corrosion-resistant
- ✔ Helps lift the forehand — designed for use with a gag bit

🐎 Why choose this product?
⚠️ A gag bit is a leverage bit: it requires an experienced hand and occasional use, never continuous use. These cheekpieces are only meaningful when used with this type of bit.
