Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the primary purpose of the Professional's Choice Short Loose Gag Snaffle?This bit is specifically designed to provide **increased control and leverage**, making it ideal for horses that tend to pull heavily, lean on the bit, or need encouragement to elevate their head and lighten their forehand. It offers more stopping power and lift compared to a standard snaffle, helping to refine your horse's frame and responsiveness.How does the gag action work, and what should I know about its severity?The **loose gag design** allows the cheekpieces to slide through the bit rings, applying upward pressure on the corners of the horse's mouth and simultaneously engaging poll pressure. This encourages the horse to lift its head and come off the forehand. Due to its potent action, this bit is generally considered **more severe than a regular snaffle** and is best suited for experienced riders who understand how to use leverage bits correctly to avoid discomfort or overcorrection.Tell me about the mouthpiece material and its care.Our Professional's Choice gag snaffles often feature a **sweet iron mouthpiece**. This material is chosen for its ability to create a sweet taste, which promotes salivation and encourages the horse to accept the bit more readily and comfortably. Please note that sweet iron is designed to rust when exposed to moisture; this rust is harmless to the horse and is part of its intended function to enhance taste.What is the recommended rein configuration for this bit?The "short loose gag" design with a loose rein ring is versatile. While it can function like a ring bit, it also allows for the use of a curb chain for enhanced collection and bend. Most gag bits, including this type, are typically used with **two sets of reins**: one attached to the snaffle area for everyday cues, and a second "gag" rein for when additional leverage, lift, or control is specifically required. This allows for nuanced communication depending on the training or riding need.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): PCB-95BMouth Size: 5 1/4″Cheek Length: 4 1/2″Mouthpiece Material: 3/8" Soft Iron StockReady to transform your riding experience?
