Reinsman Sharon Camarillo Gag Bit
Best responsive training tool for competitive barrel racers and performance horses.
This is the ideal bridge for horses graduating from direct contact to leverage. The sweet iron mouthpiece keeps them soft and responsive, though the added shank length means you’ll need a lighter hand to avoid over-communicating. It’s a thoughtful, handcrafted tool for refining your cues without overwhelming a sensitive mouth.
