The Siloflex Balding Gag bit is a premium horse bit designed to deliver unmatched durability, comfort, and precise communication, making it ideal for sensitive horses. Its core is crafted from braided wire, precision-dipped in PVC for enhanced strength and longevity, and encased in a protective plastic tube for additional durability.
The outer layer of the Siloflex bit is constructed from high-quality food-grade silicone with a 50% hardness rating, perfectly balancing softness and support. This makes the bit particularly well-suited for horses with delicate mouths or heightened sensitivity. To prevent the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth during use, the design includes a square cheek guard that ensures stability and proper positioning.
The Balding Gag cheekpiece works through a sliding action that applies gentle pressure to the horse’s lips and poll when rein pressure is applied. This encourages the horse to raise its head and become lighter in the forehand, making it particularly effective for horses that tend to lean or pull. Unlike leverage bits, the Balding gag relies on this dynamic movement rather than mechanical force, offering refined control.
The Siloflex Balding Gag bit is engineered to improve rider-to-horse communication while prioritizing the horse's comfort and overall well-being. Combining advanced materials and expert craftsmanship, the Siloflex bit is an excellent choice for riders looking for a functional, reliable, and comfortable solution for their sensitive horses.
