Zilco gag bit #123166

Gag Bit

Stainless Steel. Used in conjunction with Gag straps in either nylon or leather. 

The gag rein is attached to the ring end of the gag straps. When the gag rein is used it encourages the horse to lift its head as the bit is drawn up the gag strap. A normal snaffle rein is attached to the ring of the bit so that the gag action may be used only as required.

  • 3. This buckling variation allows the rider to exert gentle pressure on the tongue and the lower jaw bone of the horse, with all the other advantages of the Golden Wings GAG.
  • 4. Shows the Golden Wings GAG in action as an Egg Butt Gag bit. This variation allows the rider to exert effective pressure on the horse's neck and lower jaw.
