The mouthpiece on the 379 Cristy Copper Gag packs well and is ideal for medium control. The gag action makes this bit slower than a traditional full cheek because it takes the mouthpiece longer to engage, making it perfect for those who are looking for a bit of extra signaling.
This bit is designed to work without a curb chain so as not to restrict the draw action.
IDEAL FOR:
• Trainers and barrel racing competitors
• The horse that rates well but needs a little added elevation through turns
• Timed performance events where the horse is given a pre-signal before the pressure is applied
• The seasoned horse who is patterned and needs something that can be light and easy
• The rider looking for a quicker release of pressure and an amplified feel.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
• Copper creates a supple mouth for a better feel.
• Mullen relief mouthpiece creates even pressure across the bars and tongue.
• The function of the headstall and bit combination allows the bit to slide up the cheeks, putting pressure on the crown for smooth pick up and release.
• Adds some additional poll pressure.
• The weighted cheeks allow for a quicker release of pressure.
HELPFUL TIPS:
• The draw gag bit is designed to slide on a shank, rope, or cable cheek headstall.
• Draw gag bits are not designed to directly apply pressure to the bars of the horse’s mouth.
• This bit is designed to be used without a curb chain so as not to restrict the draw action.
MORE DETAILS:
• The severity of this bit is ruled by the nature of the rider’s hands.
• The action of the gag is almost entirely on the horse’s lips.
• When the rider applies pressure, the bit will glide up the cheekpieces drawing the mouthpiece upwards in the horse’s mouth.
• Copper is a soft metal, so keep an eye out for excessive wear
• Cheeks are made of medical-grade stainless steel to prevent rusting and guarantee longevity.
• 2 1/2" Cheeks, 5" Mouth
