Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the Brittany 3 Twist Gag enhance control and responsiveness?This bit is designed to offer significant leverage through its 8-inch shank, providing superior control, particularly for strong or seasoned horses. It's highly effective for assisting with lifting shoulders, improving turns, and achieving more decisive stops, making it a valuable tool for enhanced maneuverability and communication in various riding scenarios.Is this bit harsh, and how should it be used properly?Like all gag bits, and especially those with a twisted mouthpiece and longer shank, the Brittany 3 Twist Gag has the potential for severity if used improperly. Correct fitting is crucial. We highly recommend using two reins – one on the gag and one on the snaffle portion – for balanced communication and to moderate the bit's action. Professional guidance from an experienced trainer is advised to prevent issues such as head tossing, jaw crossing, or mouth sores, ensuring a positive experience for your horse.What does the "3 Twist" mouthpiece mean, and what material is it made from?The "3 Twist" mouthpiece features a design similar to a twisted wire snaffle, which provides a more direct and articulate signal to the horse's mouth. This design, combined with its unique construction, offers added flex and bend, promoting superior communication. The bit is crafted from a material that is designed to rust naturally, creating a sweet taste in the horse's mouth. This encourages salivation and helps the horse soften and accept the bit, contributing to a more comfortable and responsive ride.Which types of horses and riding disciplines is this bit best suited for?The Professional's Choice Brittany 8″ Shank 3 Twist Gag is highly beneficial for improving communication and promoting hindquarter engagement in strong or advanced horses. It can serve as an "emergency handbrake" for high-energy horses in disciplines like jumping or barrel racing where precise, immediate control is paramount. However, due to its significant leverage, it is generally not recommended for daily schooling or in formal dressage competitions. It is best used as a specific training or competition tool under expert guidance to achieve desired results effectively and humanely.Product Details:Product Item Number (SKU): BPB-133Shank Length: 8 inchesMouthpiece: 3 Twist GagBrand: Professional's ChoiceReady to transform your riding experience?
