This design lies flat on the horse's tongue, distributing pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars of the mouth, which many horses find more comfortable and less pinching than single-jointed bits. It encourages relaxation and acceptance of the bit.How does the two-ring design provide adjustable poll pressure?The two-ring design offers flexibility in rein attachment. By attaching the reins to different rings, or using bit converters (not included), you can adjust the amount of leverage and poll pressure applied. Attaching to the main ring offers less poll pressure, while attaching to the lower ring or using converters increases the poll pressure, allowing you to fine-tune the bit's action for optimal control and responsiveness from your horse.Is this bit suitable for all horses?While the Shires Two Ring French Link Gag is designed for comfort and control, particularly for horses with sensitive palates due to its French link design, the suitability of any bit depends on the individual horse's temperament, training, and the rider's hands. It's often recommended for horses that may lean on the bit or need a little extra encouragement to lighten up. Always consult with a qualified trainer or equine dental professional if you are unsure about bit selection for your horse.What material is the bit made from?This Shires gag bit is expertly crafted from high-quality stainless steel. Stainless steel is renowned for its strength, durability, and resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting and hygienic bit that maintains its polished appearance even with regular use.How do I clean and maintain this gag bit?To maintain your Shires Two Ring French Link Gag, simply rinse it thoroughly with clean water after each use to remove saliva and debris. For a deeper clean, you can use a mild bit cleaner or warm soapy water, ensuring all residues are washed off. Dry completely before storing. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and maintains the bit's condition and shine.Product Details:Product Item Number (SKU): 87873STEEL4.5Don’t miss out on transforming your riding experience!
