Vortex “Pletcher” Teardrop Full Cheek Snaffle
Full cheek snaffle featuring an ergonomic, teardrop-shaped copper-based alloy mouthpiece designed to follow the natural contours of the tongue.
The Pletcher teardrop mouthpiece is flatter, thinner, and more ergonomic than traditional designs, providing extra tongue space and reducing pressure points for horses with thick tongues or low palates. The copper-based alloy warms quickly in the horse’s mouth and naturally stimulates salivation, improving comfort and encouraging consistent bit acceptance.
The full cheek design offers lateral guidance and stability, helping horses maintain straightness and preventing the bit from sliding through the mouth. The linked centre joint prevents the bit from folding sharply, while the articulated design allows each side to move independently, resulting in clear, precise rein aids.
Ideal for horses and ponies that:
✔ Require extra tongue room
✔ Resist single-jointed bits
✔ Lean or brace against the hand
✔ Benefit from lateral guidance or additional stability
