The Waterford Curb Gag Bit is designed for riders who need a combination of control and flexibility in their horse's bit. This bit features a mouthpiece made up of a series of oval-shaped links, offering exceptional movability in all directions. This flexibility is particularly effective for horses that have a tendency to lean, take hold of the bit, or set their jaw. When the horse attempts to grip the bit, the mouthpiece collapses, making it difficult for the horse to find a rigid surface to hold onto.
The unique structure of the Waterford mouthpiece helps distribute pressure evenly over the tongue and bars of the mouth, which can be beneficial for managing stronger horses. The inclusion of a curb gag in this design adds a level of control by applying pressure to the poll and chin as well, enhancing the bit's effectiveness without the harshness of more rigid bits.
The Waterford Curb Gag is particularly suited for situations that require refined communication and correction during performance, making it ideal for horses that are strong but still need assistance with direction. This bit is a valuable tool for riders facing challenges with steering and managing the bit, providing a softer yet effective solution for training and competition.
