Rubber Cheekers

Rubber Cheeker

Zilco Rubber Cheekers hold the bit high in the horse's mouth to help prevent the horse getting its tongue over the bit.

Sometimes called an "Australian Noseband", the rubber cheeker is most commonly seen in racing but is suitable for all areas of equestrian sport. Like the elastic bit lifter, it is designed to hold the bit high in the horse's mouth to prevent the horse getting its tongue over the bit.

Added Protection

The rubber rings sit between the bit rings and the horse's mouth, so this model also:

• Prevents the bit from pulling through the mouth
• Prevents pinching by the bit rings

Ideal For

• Racing
• Horses that get their tongue over the bit
• All areas of equestrian sport

Key Features

• Holds the bit high in the mouth
• Helps prevent the tongue getting over the bit
• Prevents the bit pulling through the mouth
• Prevents pinching by the bit rings

Fit & Care

Placing the cheeker in the sun or in heated water may help warm the rubber and make it more pliable for fitting to larger-ringed bits.

Note: unless the bridle is fitted with a head check buckle, a buckle attachment will be required to fit this to the bridle.

Check tack regularly for wear.
