Description Most suitable for horses that tend to lean on the bit and want to run with their head down. A rope gag bit is fitted with a rope cheek piece that slides through the bit ring when the bottom rein is used. This pulley effect increases the lifting action of the snaffle bit upward against the corners of the horse’s mouth. In addition, the ported mouthpiece allows for more tongue room, providing increased comfort for horses with fleshy tongues and those who object to direct tongue pressure. Rope gag bits are best used with two reins, effectively mimicking the action of a normal snaffle until the horse pulls its head down. ** No returns or exchanges are possible if there are chew marks on the mouthpiece. Features: Mouthpiece Material: Beris plastic compound. Mouthpiece Type: Ported. Cheekpiece Material: Stainless steel. Cheekpiece Type: Loose ring rope gag. Snaffle Ring Diameter: 8cm. Gag Runner Length: 33cm. Curb Chain Included: N/A. Action: Corners of the mouth, poll. The main focus in the manufacture of Beris bits is to protect the horse’s sensitive mouth. Only top quality materials are used and each metal component is shaped, welded and polished by hand.
