The Twisted Copper Fixed Gag with Dr. Bristol Link Bit combines a twisted copper mouthpiece for increased responsiveness with a Dr. Bristol link for even pressure distribution. The gag design offers a gentle lift, making this bit ideal for horses needing improved head carriage and refined balance.
Key Features of the Twisted Copper Mouthpiece:
- Enhanced Responsiveness: The twist in the mouthpiece creates additional contact points on the tongue and bars, encouraging quicker reactions to rein aids.
- Promotes Salivation: Copper encourages natural salivation, keeping the horse’s mouth soft and responsive.
- Designed for Skilled Riders: The sharper action of the twist is best suited for riders with educated hands.
Key Features of the Dr. Bristol Link:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The flat, angled link spreads pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, preventing pinching and discomfort.
- Improved Communication: The angled design provides a more refined feeling, helping horses respond promptly to riders’ guidance.
- Promotes Acceptance: The Dr. Bristol link encourages horses to accept the bit and maintain consistent contact.
Fixed Gag Design Features:
- Encourages Responsiveness: Even with the added lift, the design encourages smooth communication between the rider and horse, helping the horse stay engaged without tension.
- Consistent Lift: The fixed gag cheekpieces provide consistent lift without any sliding action giving riders steady control.
- Added Lift: The gag action applies upward pressure, encouraging the horse to lift its head, making it ideal for horses that tend to be heavy on the forehand.
