Neue Schule Waterford Balding Running Cheek Gag - 8029BG

The Neue Schule Waterford Balding Running Cheek Gag is the ideal bit choice for very strong horses that forceably lean on the bit and hang on the rider's reins in evasion - the combination of this mouthpiece and the action of the running cheeks makes it virtually impossible for the horse to grab and hang onto the bit. The loose lever action emphasises the riders rein aids, applying poll pressure for control and asking the horse to come back and listen. Neue Schule have redesigned the classic Waterford mouthpiece - ergonomic LipSMART shelves eradicate rubbing to the sensitive corners of the lips while the flexible, thinner mouthpiece has been designed to suit all types of mouth conformation, including large tongues and fleshy lips.

Neue Schule designed this bit for use with two reins to enable to rider to differentiate between the snaffle action and the running cheek action which provides poll pressure. This bit must always be used in conjunction with bit cheeks to gain the correct pressure distribution. This strong bit offers control for very strong horses and is often selected during faster work such as hunting but should only be employed by knowledgeable riders as misuse of strong bits can cause oral damage.

Available in 5.5 - 6.25"; 14mm mouthpiece thickness

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Whilst we do our best to meet the handling times stated in the product availability message, occasionally we can experience some delays in the delivery network.  At these times, a team member will email you to keep you updated on the progress of your order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not change our expected handling times; the service selected is always from the point of despatch not purchase.

If you do require an order urgently, please contact us before ordering to ensure we can accommodate your requirements as we hate to be party poopers!

Which couriers do you use?

Before choosing a courier, please make sure you are happy with the product availability message as these handling times apply before we ship your order.  If it doesn’t show “Express warehouse: immediate despatch”, it will not leave us on the same day you have placed the order.

We use FedEx, DPD and Royal Mail for most of our deliveries.  Some large items may come with other trusted 3rd party couriers.

Our Royal Mail economy service is usually delivered in two - three days.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day of delivery; Royal Mail provide a four hour time window for delivery.

FedEx and DPD are delivered next working day from point of despatch for UK mainland addresses or in two working days for Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Irish addresses.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day for delivery. 

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase. 

If an item has an "Oversized goods must select FedEx" overlay on it, please ensure you select FedEx as your delivery option to avoid any delays with your order.
