Key Features

Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
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.
From a trusted name with proven performance, the Korsteel® French Link 3-Ring Elevator Gag Bit provides three separate rein placements options for varying amounts of applied leverage. A versatile training or performance bit, this french link bit features the double-jointed mouthpiece that applies balanced, moderate pressure across the tongue, bars and lips of the horse's mouth when the reins are engaged.
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 to the tongue and mouth. The Korsteel® brand offers the finest hand-polished stainless steel for maximum luster and brilliance and classic cast construction for precise balance and performance.
