The Double Jointed Copper Elliptical Nelson Gag Bit combines a double-jointed mouthpiece featuring a copper elliptical link with full cheek gag (Nelson gag) sidepieces. This design ensures even pressure distribution, reducing pinching that can be associated with single-jointed bits. The copper composition encourages salivation, promoting a softer and more responsive mouth. The nelson gag offers increased lifting and turning effectiveness, making it ideal for horses that tend to lean or become strong.
Key Features of the Copper Elliptical Mouthpiece:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The elliptical link ensures consistent pressure across the tongue and bars, enhancing comfort and reducing resistance from the horse.
- Encourages Salivation: The copper material stimulates natural salivation. This reaction keeps the horse’s mouth soft and responsive to aids.
- Reduces Nutcracker Effect: The double-jointed design minimizes the pinching action typical of single-jointed bits. This makes for a softer and more gentle experience.
Nelson Gag Design Features:
- Added Lift and Stability: The gag action applies upward pressure, encouraging the horse to lift its head, making it ideal for horses that tend to lean on the bit.
- Full Cheek Control: The full cheek design prevents the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth, providing lateral stability and better guidance, especially during turns.
- Dual Rein Option: The Nelson Gag can be used with two reins, allowing riders to adjust between the gag and snaffle rein for more refined communication and flexibility.
