Composition: The Waterford Full Cheek Gag Bit features 50 mm rings and 17 mm thick cannons crafted from German Silver—a robust and soothing alloy made of 65% copper, 23% zinc, and 12% nickel. This material provides a durable yet gentle contact for the horse.
Effect: This bit is designed to influence the horse's balance, encouraging it to shift weight onto the hindquarters and achieve better rebalancing. The full cheek design and larger rings enhance the gag action, combining both balance and directional control. The Waterford cannons, with their unique structure, help distribute pressure more evenly, making the horse lighter and more responsive.
Tips: This bit requires special cheek pieces and can be used with two reins, bit loops, or four reins for versatile adjustment. The Waterford design, with its segmented cannons, helps diffuse contact points, facilitating a lighter, more refined response from the horse during work.
Size: 135
Maintenance Advice: Rinse the bit thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup and ensure your horse remains comfortable. Regular cleaning maintains the bit's effectiveness and extends its lifespan.
