Mouth Size

A gag works by lifting the bit in the mouth in order to encourage the
head to be raised. Often used on strong horses that like to lower their
heads in order to escape the action of the bit in the mouth and get
very strong.

When pressure is applied to the rein, the bit is
lifted in the mouth and poll pressure is applied. The bit also rotates
slightly in the mouth putting more pressure on the tongue and bars.

This is a very popular bit on the Polo field.

To be correctly used, it must be used with two reins one on the gag rein
and one on the bit, only bringing the gag rein into play when needed,
although most people ride on the gag rein only.

Our Snaffle is a
popular bit due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more
evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset centre link it will

The Square Twist will create more pressure points on the mouthpiece which will make it stronger than the Round Twist and Smooth.

The mouth pieces is made from blue sweet iron, because it:

oxidizes easily
encourages salivation
helps bit acceptance
is warm and sweet

Please note the blue will fade with use.
