a gag bit is a snaffle but with 2 extra rings to add the reins to they make it stronger! xxx
Although there are many variations of each, as a general rule the gag bit will be harsher than the pelham. Gag and/or elevator bits of this type should only be used by the experts.
a gag. There are many different gags a dutch gag this has a snaffle ring and extra rings underneath the lower you put the reins on the rings the more severe the action. A Cheltenham gag this has special running cheek pieces made of leather or rope that pass through the bit and the reins attach to a ring at the bottom. When you pull on the reins the bit then slides up the cheek pieces and applies pressure to the poll as well as the mouth.
It works as a hack and then if the horse doesnt respond, the bit comes in. They are amazing bits to use! It works as a hack and then if the horse doesnt respond, the bit comes in. They are amazing bits to use!
The tom thumb will be the least severe.

The word "gag" is a palindrome for the word joke.
Gag bits are typically seen on polo and eventing horses, and sometimes jumpers who tend to get excited and want to run away. They can be harsh on a horses mouth if not used with gentle hands.
Work with him on it. Let him know that YOUR the boss and he is NOT. My advice is to work with the gag bit on him for a bit and see how he responds. The switch him back to the normal bit and MAKE him slow down. If he gives you grief. Stop hold tight on the reins then if he listens to you gently loosen the reins and start again. Hope this helped!!! :)
