The port measures 80mm wide by 10mm high, low and broad rather than tall and narrow, so the tongue is given room across a wide span while the bar stays well clear of the palate. The mouthpiece is swept forward to follow the arch of the tongue. With no joint there is nothing to close on the bars and no nutcracker action, and port relief moves the load off the centre of the tongue and out onto the bars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheek piece.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bit ring is fixed to the mouthpiece and does not rotate. This prevents pinching of the lips, gives a solid feel against the side of the face and prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. The release is slower than a loose ring and light poll pressure is introduced. A fixed cheek sits closely to the lips and encourages flexion. Paired with an unjointed mouthpiece it is the steadiest combination in the range, with nothing moving anywhere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-b96bb8d6-7fff-23fb-09ad-b93663abc7f1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eImported \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8235\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Equine Int.
