This high quality double jointed three ring gag is made of solid Cuprigan with stainless steel rings. Cuprigan is an alloy composed of 89% copper, 7% aluminum, 3% iron and 1% zinc. The oxidation process of the material gives it a pleasant smell and taste. The anatomical design of the bit follows the shape of the horse’s mouth, allowing for smooth, even pressure distribution. The design, combined with the unique properties of Cuprigan, stimulates the chewing process and saliva production, allowing for a pleasant connection with the horse’s sensitive mouth. The bit applies normal pressure to the mouth and is suitable for hard-mouthed horses. Nozzle thickness 16mm, center ring size 70mm. The three-ring gag has two additional rings: one on the top and one on the bottom. The upper ring is attached to the cheek pieces of the bridle, the reins can be attached to either of the two lower rings. The less the reins are tightened, the stronger the influence on the polls will be. The bit can be used with one or two reins or with Pelham rounds attached to the middle and lower ring. The double joint drill bit consists of three parts. The center section of the mouthpiece lies flat on the tongue, causing more pressure on the tongue than a single hinged bit. The thicker the midsection, the more pressure it will create on the tongue.
