It helps your horse respond smoothly and precisely to your cues.How should I properly adjust and use this gag bit to ensure horse comfort?Proper adjustment and use are crucial for horse comfort and training effectiveness. We recommend adjusting the bit to create about "a smile-and-a-half" (one to two wrinkles) in the corners of your horse's mouth. When riding, work one side of the horse's mouth at a time rather than pulling straight back on both reins simultaneously. Additionally, always ensure your horse's teeth are in good condition, as the gag bit's action can press the cheek against the teeth.Is this set ready to use right out of the box?Yes, it is!
