Big Ring Gag Leather Mullen

Leather provides a softer, more forgiving feel in the horse's mouth. It is an excellent choice for sensitive horses that dislike the cold, hard sensation of metal, as it encourages them to accept the bit and relax into the contact.

The mullen mouthpiece is a solid, non-jointed bar that offers a very stable feel. While it is great for encouraging a horse to seek the bit, it lacks the independent side-to-side action of a jointed bit, so it is best suited for horses that are already responsive to rein aids.

The large ring gag provides a sliding action that creates a subtle poll pressure when you take up the reins. This helps lift the horse's front end and encourages them to round their frame, offering clear communication without the severity of a curb bit.

Like any leather tack, the mouthpiece will show signs of wear over time, especially with regular use. To extend its life, rinse it with clean water after each ride to remove saliva and apply a leather conditioner specifically safe for equine mouths periodically.

Yes, the combination of the gentle leather mullen and the clear communication of the gag makes this a popular choice for schooling. It provides enough control for high-speed maneuvers while remaining soft enough to build confidence in a younger horse.
