Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.

Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
Classic in design, the Happy Mouth 2 Ring Double Jointed Roller Pessoa Gag Bit provides comfort and flexibility for horse and rider! The soft and comfortable mouthpiece is sure to be a hit with your horse, it even features an exclusive apple scent to encourage your horse to readily take the bit. The three-piece design allows this bit to lay comfortably across the tongue and bars and eliminates unwanted pressure. The 2 ring design gives the rider options to customize the leverage depending on the horse. Traditional loose ring rein action appropriate for nearly any riding discipline! Made from non-toxic space-age plastic, this bit is a great alternative to traditional metal.
This mouthpiece also features the sliding "gag" mechanism, allowing the horse to respond first to the poll pressure provided by the leverage of the shank tipping the purchase forward before the mouthpiece is fully engaged and applies pressure on the tongue and mouth.
