AMERICAN GAG

This bit is made of stainless steel, which is guaranteed never to rust, bend or break. It is well suited to showjumpers, eventers and barrel racers. The American gag action is more direct than that of a traditional gag, which makes it more severe. But in some ways it is kinder than a traditional gag too, in that the mouth pressure is reduced as soon as the rein pressure is reduced. With the jointed mouthpiece the nutcracker action produces further control. It is ideally used with double reins but could be used with gag reins or even a single rein. A nylon curb strap can be added for maximum strength. Sizes: 5" and 5.5".
