Metalab Feather Collection Twisted Dog Bone Gag Bit

This bit is designed for horses that tend to lean or bear down on the bit. The gag action provides an upward, lifting leverage that helps correct this behavior and encourages the horse to carry themselves more properly.

Sweet iron is designed to oxidize when it comes into contact with moisture, creating a sweet taste that encourages the horse to salivate. This increased salivation helps soften the mouth, making the horse more responsive to your cues.

The twisted dog bone mouthpiece offers more texture than a smooth snaffle, which increases the pressure points slightly. Because this is a Level 4 bit, it is intended for horses that are already well-trained and need more control, rather than for horses just starting their training.

The 7-inch cheek length provides the leverage necessary for the gag action to work effectively. Longer cheeks generally offer more leverage and control, making this bit suitable for Western disciplines where precise communication is required.

While the intricate copper and turquoise feather engravings make this bit a beautiful choice for the show ring, it is fully functional for daily training. It is a reliable tool for riders who need extra control during performance work.
