Double Jointed Stainless Steel Roller Nelson Gag

The Double Jointed Stainless Steel Roller Nelson Gag Bit features a double-jointed mouthpiece for even pressure distribution, greater mobility, and improved comfort, combined with a stainless steel roller that encourages tongue engagement and discourages leaning. The Nelson gag design combines gag action with the lateral support and stability of a full cheek.  Ideal for horses that go well with a double-jointed mouthpiece with a roller and a cheekpiece that offers gag action with lateral support.

Key Features of the Double Jointed Mouthpiece :

• 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.

Key Features of the Stainless Steel Roller:

• Encourages Interaction: The movable stainless steel roller invites the horse to engage with the bit, helping keep the mouth active and attentive.
• Promotes Tongue Engagement: The rolling action encourages the horse to interact with the bit using its tongue, which may improve focus and mouthing.
• Discourages Grabbing or Leaning: The roller’s movement can make it harder for the horse to lock against or lean on the bit, promoting a lighter, more supple connection.

Nelson Gag Design Features :

• Added Lift and Stability : The gag action applies upward pressure, encouraging the horse to lift its head, making it ideal for horses that tend to lean on the bit.
• Full Cheek Control : The full cheek design prevents the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth, providing lateral stability and better guidance, especially during turns.
• Dual Rein Option : The Nelson Gag can be used with two reins, allowing riders to adjust between the gag and snaffle rein for more refined communication and flexibility.
