Trust Loose Ring Gag Leather
The Loose Ring Gag is a loose ring with two small rings for the gag cheeks. It encourages the horse to keep its head up. The pressure points are on the top of the head, just behind the ears and the corners of the mouth. The cheekpiece can be used with one or two reins. This cheekpiece is most commonly used with two reins, one attached to the large ring and the other to the ring of the gag cheek. This way, the rider can better control the gag effect. Please note: The normal bridle cheekpiece is replaced by the gag cheek.
The leather bits are a remarkable appearance in the TRUST collection. The leather is stitched manually around the reinforced nylon core and is tanned without chemicals. Also, the round construction is unique. Saliva makes the leather mouthpiece soften, after which it forms to the horse’s mouth. The flexible effect in combination with the taste of the leather makes the bit extremely suitable for horses with sensitive mouths.
Note: Make sure that the stitching always faces the outside of the mouth, when the bit is used. Unlike metal mouthpieces, leather mouthpieces are softer. This is what most horses like about these mouthpieces. When the mouthpiece is properly placed on the layers, damage to the mouthpiece is quite unlikely, but not impossible due to sharp edges on the teeth for example.
Maintenance: You keep it supple by applying butter to it regularly.
