The Hexagon Copper Cricket Roller Nelson Gag Bit is an innovative tool designed for skilled riders who demand exceptional control and communication with their horse. This bit ingeniously combines a hexagonal mouthpiece with a copper cricket roller within the dynamic framework of a Nelson gag design.
The hexagonal mouthpiece is a standout feature, offering multiple contact points in the horse’s mouth. This unique shape provides a more varied and engaging pressure distribution, which can be especially beneficial for horses that have become accustomed to traditional bits. The hexagonal design encourages the horse to pay more attention to the rider’s cues, enhancing responsiveness.
At the center of the bit is the copper cricket roller, an element that significantly enhances horse engagement. The copper material naturally promotes salivation, leading to a softer and more responsive mouth. The roller also produces a distinct cricket noise as the horse interacts with it, providing auditory feedback to the rider. This feedback is essential for understanding the horse’s level of engagement and comfort, allowing the rider to adjust their communication and commands accordingly.
The Nelson gag aspect of this bit introduces a lifting action, beneficial for encouraging the horse to carry its head higher and maintain better posture. This feature is particularly valuable in disciplines requiring agility and quick responses.
