My horse has a swolen cheek and I think it was a sting from a fly could it be anything else?
It could be a number of things. It could be like you suspect, a reaction from an insect. But he may have injured himself. He may have been kicked by another horse if he is with others. It could be an infection of some sort or even an infected tooth. Watch it closely. If it was an insect it should begin to go back to normal within a day or so. If not or if you see other symptoms do not hesitate to call your vet.

What kind of horse should have a full cheek snaffle bit?
Its is not the "kind" of horse that determines the type of bit you should use it is the discipline and training level of the horse that determines it. A full cheek snaffle should be used on a horse being ridden english. It is a fairly mild bit that can be used on horses of all training levels. The cheeks pieces are there mainly to prevent the bit from slipping from side to side in the horses mouth but it does provide a bit more action in the horses mouth than a loose ring snaffle.
What is a cheek strap?
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. When on a horse, it is along the side of a horses face, basically where the horses cheek is (from the ears to the muzzle). It is joined to the Bit (in the horses mouth) and the head piece which is the part of the bridle that is at the top of the horses head, by the poll (behind its ears). I hope this was helpful information.
