Single Joint Leather Covered Nelson Gag

The Single Joint Leather Covered Nelson 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 Nelson gag design provides lateral support and encourages head elevation. Ideal for horses that require lateral stability and respond well to a gag-style bit with a leather covered mouthpiece.

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.

Single Joint Features :

• Focused Contact : The single joint design concentrates pressure on the tongue and bars, creating clear communication between the horse and rider.
• Direct Function : This bit’s simple, direct action is ideal for horses that respond well to straightforward cues.
• Supports Engagement : With clear signals, the single joint encourages horses to stay focused on the rider’s aids, enhancing responsiveness and 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.
