Double Jointed Leather Covered Fixed Gag

The Double Jointed Leather Covered Fixed Gag Bit has a stainless steel core wrapped in leather, providing strength while offering a softer surface than a bare metal bit. The leather softens slightly when moistened, giving a gentler surface for horses with sensitive mouths. Flat, non-abrasive stitching keeps the mouthpiece smooth, reducing the risk of irritation. The fixed gag cheekpieces provide controlled lift, helping the horse stay light in the forehand while maintaining stability for clear rein aids. The double-jointed mouthpiece has a central link that distributes pressure evenly and reduces the nutcracker effect.   Ideal for horses that need additional control and a softer leather covered bit compared to standard metal options.

Key Features of the Leather-Covered Mouthpiece

• Softens with Saliva :The leather covering the bit becomes more pliable when moistened, offering a gentler surface for horses that prefer softer mouthpieces and encouraging better acceptance in sensitive mouths.
• Durable Core with Leather Overlay : A solid metal core wrapped in high-quality leather combines strength with a softer feel compared to bare metal bits.
• Flat, Non-Abrasive Stitching : The stitching lies flush against the leather, reducing the chance of rubbing or irritation and keeping the mouthpiece comfortable for the horse.

Double Jointed Features :

• Even Pressure Distribution: The two joints with a center link reduce palate pressure and distributes contact more evenly across the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth.
• Tongue Pressure Variation: The size and shape of the center link influence how much tongue pressure is applied, making it adaptable for horses with different mouth conformations.
• Greater Mobility: The design allows the mouthpiece to move more freely than a single joint, improving comfort and reducing resistance in many horses.

Fixed Gag Design Features :

• Encourages Responsiveness : Even with the added lift, the design encourages smooth communication between the rider and horse, helping the horse stay engaged without tension.
• Consistent Lift : The fixed gag cheekpieces provide consistent lift without any sliding action giving riders steady control.
• Added Lift : The gag action applies upward pressure, encouraging the horse to lift its head, making it ideal for horses that tend to be heavy on the forehand.
