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.
A proven favorite at the Josey Ranch, the Reinsman Martha Josey Gag Bit evenly distributes pressure across the nose, poll, bars, and corners of the mouth. The sliding gag action allows the horse to respond to the initial poll pressure created by the leverage shank before the mouthpiece fully engages the tongue and bars.
Featuring a three-piece twisted wire mouthpiece with a dog bone link, rope noseband, and 7" shank, this bit encourages the flexion and responsiveness needed from a versatile, well-rounded design. Created with skilled neck reiners in mind, it's ideal for quick, subtle cues when your horse is locked in and responsive.
