The Brass Waterford Nelson Gag Bit combines the flexible Waterford mouthpiece with the full-cheek Nelson gag design, offering enhanced control and precise steering. The brass composition encourages salivation, promoting a softer mouth and better acceptance of the bit. This bit is particularly effective for horses that tend to lean or become strong, as the Waterford mouthpiece discourages this action, while the Nelson gag provides lift to suit various horse needs.
Key Features of the Brass Waterford Mouthpiece:
- Flexible Pressure Distribution: The multiple rounded links of the Waterford mouthpiece conform to the horse’s mouth. This ergonomic contouring exerts even pressure therefore reducing the risk of discomfort.
- Prevents Leaning: The flexible design of the links discourages horses from leaning or bracing against the bit. This encourages proper contact, promoting better balance and control.
- Encourages Salivation: The brass material naturally stimulates salivation which softens the horse’s mouth for improved acceptance of the bit.
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.
