The Loose Ring Gag Bit is equipped with cheekpieces (cords) that pass through the rings of the bit and are attached to the bridle. A ring is fixed at the bottom of the cord to which the rein is attached. When the reins are pulled, the bit slides up in the horse’s mouth, creating pressure behind the ears, encouraging the horse to raise its head. This design is ideal for horses that are heavy on the forehand, offering gentle lift to improve balance.
The Loose Ring Gag allows the rider to apply upward pressure when needed, helping the horse maintain a lighter head position while still encouraging relaxed mouth movement. The loose ring design permits more movement of the mouthpiece, which encourages the horse to accept the bit comfortably without feeling restricted. Despite the added lift, the design ensures smooth communication between the rider and horse, keeping the horse engaged and responsivewithout unnecessary tension.
The Loose Ring Gag Bit is a flexible option that offers control and balance, making it suitable for riders who need to encourage better posture and a lighter head position in their horse.
