Description

The Full Cheek Gag double jointed in sweet iron is designed for riders seeking both accurate lateral control and gentle elevation. It encourages the horse to lift through the shoulders while maintaining straightness and balance.

The full cheeks provide excellent lateral stability and clearer turning aids, making this bit particularly suitable for young or unbalanced horses. The gag action, activated by the cheek pieces running through the rings, applies light poll pressure to promote a lighter forehand and improved self-carriage.

The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidises with use, stimulating salivation and encouraging softer, more relaxed acceptance of the bit. This contributes to a smoother contact and calmer way of going.

The double jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, eliminating the nutcracker effect. It offers a stable and comfortable feel, especially beneficial for sensitive horses or those with a lower palate.

Ideal for

• Horses that lean or fall onto the forehand

• Riders working on balance, straightness and responsiveness

• Show jumping, cross-training and advanced flatwork
