The Continental Gag Bit is a cross between a pelham and a gag — a highly versatile bit whose action varies depending on rein placement.
-
Top ring: Nearly ordinary snaffle action, with slight downward poll pressure to encourage head lowering
-
Lower ring: Increased poll pressure and lower jaw pressure, similar to a curb bit
-
Two reins (top and bottom): Action similar to a pelham
The mouthpiece is free to move upward in the pony’s mouth like a gag, but with a more limited range. A great multi-purpose option for riders who want adjustable control in a single bit.
- Mouth: 4 1/2"
- Multiple rings for versatile rein placement
