Single Joint Leather Covered Fixed Gag

The Single Joint 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 naturally softens slightly when moistened, providing a gentler surface that many horses with sensitive mouths accept more easily. 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. 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

• 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.
