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.
A harsh bit is not the solution for a horse that bolts. Proper training is.
beetje beter is the translation in Dutch. It means little bit better.
Yes, Arabian horses that live in Arabia wear bits, the type of bit will vary though, depending on the rider and what is available locally.
Shire horses were not 'discovered', they were created by humans who wanted a bit sturdy draft type horse. The Shire truly began to become a breed in the 16th century when people crossed the Old English Black horse with Dutch horses. The term 'Shire' was used in the mid 17th century to describe the draft horses from the 'Shires' region in England. The breed registry/association opened in 1884 in England.

Its is not the "kind" of horse that determines the type of bit you should use it is the discipline and training level of the horse that determines it. A full cheek snaffle should be used on a horse being ridden english. It is a fairly mild bit that can be used on horses of all training levels. The cheeks pieces are there mainly to prevent the bit from slipping from side to side in the horses mouth but it does provide a bit more action in the horses mouth than a loose ring snaffle.
a pelham is a bit used on horses its a very harsh bit though
