The Twisted Locking Dog Bone American Gag is the perfect training or correction bit for experienced riders looking to enhance their control and communication with their horse.
Crafted with precision, this bit features a unique American Gag cheek piece design that transforms the mouthpiece from a double broken to a straight bar when pressure is applied to the reins. The American Gag cheek piece provides direct leverage action that also features a shank that allows the mouthpiece to slide, allowing you to effectively manage horses that tend to go against the hand and require increased control. Once the pressure is released, the bit seamlessly changes back to its original double-jointed mouthpiece.
Our Twisted Locking Dog Bone American Gag is specifically designed for horses that become strong or pull against the hand. The locking mechanism engages at a certain angle, providing added stability and control, further supported by the American Gag cheek piece action that amplifies the bit's impact and aids in refining responses.
The double-jointed Dog Bone mouthpiece, resembling its namesake, significantly reduces the nutcracker effect on the horse's mouth, promoting a comfortable and relaxed riding experience, especially for horses with a low palate. As the bit locks and operates like a straight bar, it delivers a sharper action than a smooth standard double-jointed mouthpiece, making it ideal for horses who have become unresponsive to rounded mouthpieces.
