Continental 3 Ring Gag Bits
The 2 ring gag exerts pressure on the poll when the reins are used.
You
can select which ring you attach your reins to. The lower down the reins
are on the bit, the greater the pressure on the poll and the stronger
the action of the bit. They are very useful bits because they provide a
variety of severity.
FRENCH LINK GAG - the double jointed french link mouth piece eliminates the nutcracker action, and disperses the pressure over the two joints rather than the one in the single jointed snaffle.
HOLLOW MOUTH GAG - the hollow mouth is said to be milder or kinder than the solid mouthpiece as it is lighter and thicker in diameter, which means when pressure is applied it will be distributed over a larger area.
STANDARD MOUTH GAG - has the nutcracker action which acts on the bars of the mouth and sometimes the roof of the mouth.
OLIVE LINK GAG - the olive link works very similar to the french link, but with a smooth lozenge in the middle for a more positive action on the tongue.
RUBBER COVER JOINTED GAG - has a rubber covered mouthpiece to soften the effect on the bars of the mouth. It is ideal for horses which have a sensitive mouth or prefer a softer, warmer feel.MULLEN MOUTH GAG - has no nut cracker action or movement in the horses mouth, it is ideal for horses that have a very soft mouth, or for horses that back off the contact.
