American Gag

Our Snaffle is a popular bit due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset centre link it will reduce nutcracker action and pressure points on the tongue.

The Bombers Control Plate is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control. This differs from a Dr Bristol which sits horizontlaly with the edge of the plate on the tongue.

The Roller is a great schooling bit with a 55mm centre piece creating greater tongue pressure. The Roller gives the horse something to play with and helps keep the horses attention on the bit.

This particular joint exerts more pressure than the Control Plate or Elliptical .
