When putting on a bridle can you put the bit into the horses mouth while they are yawning?

Yes you can! My mare yawns all the time when she sees the bridle coming. Its as if she is pretending to be tired. As long as you have the tongue under the bit and the horse accepts it safely it is OK to be put on.

if you are referring to horses, it is not called a "cheek strap". It is called a "cheek piece". A cheek piece is part of the bridle.
