The 2271 Easy Control Full Cheek Snaffle double broken behaves softly under normal contact, but engages a straight-bar effect when the horse exerts strong, bilateral rein pressure. Full cheeks provide stable lateral guidance, helping the bit maintain position without twisting. The flexible design makes it suitable for horses needing extra control in certain situations.

Description

2271 Full Cheek Bit Easy Control Double Jointed

The Stübben SteelTEC Easy Control bits are activated by strong, bilateral pressure from the horse, turning them into a bar bit. With normal contact with the reins and as soon as the rider or the horse relaxes, the bit becomes flexible again and can be used like a regular snaffle bit. This allows for precise yet mouth-friendly aids when needed.

Thanks to the effect of the Easy Control bit, horses often learn to hold back on their own as soon as the bar effect kicks in. Therefore, Easy Control bits should be used for training purposes for short periods, with regular checks to see if the desired learning effect has been achieved.

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars. The full cheeks provide clear lateral stabilization and guidance, ensuring the bit stays calmly in the horse’s mouth. The small snaffle rings make the action of this bit more direct.

Advantages at a Glance

Effect:
When the horse applies strong pressure forward on both reins, the bit acts like a bar. As soon as the horse or rider relaxes (on one side), the bit acts like a double-jointed full cheek snaffle.

Mouthpiece:
Made of stainless steel
Stainless steel is robust, tasteless, and odorless

Which horses are particularly suited for this bit?

Horses that become stronger in certain situations (e.g., in the field, while jumping, etc.)
Horses that pull strongly towards jumps
Horses that need stronger lateral stability
Horses that become too cautious with leverage bits or similar

Note on Proper Use

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly and improperly. An incorrect size can also be painful for the horse. Please contact us if you have questions about size and fastening, or read more here about choosing the right size and proper fastening in the horse's mouth. Please ensure that Easy Control bits are regularly switched out to check for the desired training effect.

Size Guide

Measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer, string, or dowel between the corners of the lips (at the position where the bit will sit), mark the ends, then measure the distance.

The bit width should be such that the rings rest just outside (or very slightly beyond) the lip corners—if the bit is too narrow, it will pinch; too wide, it will shift side to side.

For loose ring bits, allow a little “play” so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.

When mounted in the bridle, the bit should sit such that there is 1–2 small wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (but this is not a perfect rule for all jointed bits)

The bit should lie on the bars (the toothless gap between incisors and molars) and not press into teeth or interfere with the palate.

Care Instructions

Washing
After each ride, rinse or wipe the bit to remove saliva, feed residues, or sweat. Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral detergent or saddle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal surface and reduce the bit’s longevity.

Drying
Once cleaned, dry the bit thoroughly with a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not expose the bit to direct sunlight, and never place it on or near heat sources such as heaters or radiators.

Storage
Store your bit in a dry, well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. For best results, keep bits individually or padded to prevent metal parts from rubbing or scratching each other. Avoid leaving the bit attached to the bridle for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.

Guidance

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse.
This Easy Control full cheek bit gives you a controlled fallback: when the horse pushes against the bit with equal rein force, it transforms into a bar bit, offering stiffer correction. When pressure is reduced, it returns to its softer, flexible snaffle function. Use it for short training sessions, and always monitor whether the desired effect is achieved. The fixed cheeks demand careful alignment so they do not rub the horse’s cheeks; rein aids must be smooth and precise to make best use of its dual nature
