Classic Equine Sherry Cervi Gag Bit

The short shank is designed for a quicker response time. It allows for more immediate communication between your hand and the horse's mouth, which is essential for maintaining rate and control during high-speed barrel turns.

The twisted wire mouthpiece provides more bite and pressure than a smooth mouthpiece. It is intended for horses that need a bit more encouragement to stay responsive and attentive to subtle cues, rather than for horses with very sensitive mouths.

This bit is generally better suited for horses that are already familiar with barrel racing patterns and cues. Because of the twisted wire mouthpiece and the gag action, it is a more advanced tool designed for refinement and control at speed rather than initial training.

The gag action of this bit encourages the horse to lift its shoulder and engage its hindquarters during a turn. By helping the horse maintain proper body position, it allows for tighter, more efficient turns around the barrels.

This bit is engineered specifically for barrel racing. Its design features—including the short shank and twisted wire—are tailored to the specific needs of the sport, such as quick rate, precise turning, and maintaining speed.
