You don't! The gag bit is a training aid to improve flexion and collection, that should only be used by an experienced trainer, or under the supervision of a trainer. A gag bit in the wrong hands can be severely painful for the horse, and amounts to torture. IF you have to use torture to get your horse to submit, you need to back up and take stock of your situation. A more severe bit is no substitute for a well trained horse. If you have a horse that bolts, I recommend the use of an experienced trainer. If you can't afford a trainer, replace the horse. There are far too many nice, well trained horses out there for you to justify the risk of riding a dangerous horse. I don't care how much you love it, this horse is not worth your life. I hope you wear a helmet and know how to jump off safely.

What type of horses suits a snaffle bit?
A snaffle bit is most commonly a jointed bit that works with direct pressure from the reins. There are many different types of snaffle bit, but they are all less severe than a curb bit. A curb bit works in several places on the horse's head, including the poll and roof of the mouth, and is mostly used on strong horses and while driving horses. If a horse has a "soft mouth" (listens to the bit well and does not like pulling on its mouth) and it is not strong or disobedient, then it should have a snaffle. If a horse has a "hard mouth" and is strong or hard to control, it should be ridden in a curb bit, but it is mostly the owner's choice. Some horses go better in snaffles, and some go better in curbs.

If your horse has a bit, no matter how gentle the bit is, you will hurt him, and hurting him will only freak him out more. With a bitless, you have to try pretty hard to hurt him.
