APPLE MOUTH JOINTED AMERICAN GAG

The revolutionary polyurethane mouthpiece in Apple Mouth bits is apple scented and easily accepted by any horse. The material will not peel or flake in the horse's mouth. Apple Mouth bits are long wearing, non-allergenic and stimulates salivation. It is shaped to fit the tongue and bars of the mouth. The American gag is well suited to showjumpers, eventers and barrel racers as its 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".
