How it works:
The gag bit works on the horse's lips and poll simultaneously. The pressure on the lips tends to make the horse raise its head, which is useful for a horse that tends to lean on the bit.
Gag bits are used mainly for horses that are strong pullers or for horses that need retraining.
The main ring that is attached straight to the mouthpiece acts similarly to a snaffle. The lower rings, are for a second rein to be attached, and they provide the gag action. The lower the second rein is placed on the stack, the more "leverage" (raising of the mouthpiece up along the cheekpiece) is applied. This gag are useful because it provide options for the severity of the bit. The bridle cheek pieces are attached to the top rings to produce pressure.
