Description

Leonora three ring dutch gag with copper lozenge – a versatile and effective bit designed to provide additional control and communication with your horse.

This bit features three rings, with the top ring attaching to the cheek pieces of the bridle and the reins attaching to any of the three lower rings, offering a variety of leverage options. It is particularly useful for strong horses, as the lower rings create a leverage effect when the horse leans on the bit. Also known as a continental bit, it raises the bit in the horse’s mouth similarly to a traditional gag but with less severity. When using the reins on the lower rings, there is a significant increase in poll pressure. To manage this, we recommend using two reins or attaching roundings to a single rein. This approach helps maintain proper contact on the snaffle ring without applying poll pressure when not desired.

The three-part design of the Leonora bit ensures a gentle and steady connection with your horse’s mouth. The central lozenge reduces the nutcracker effect of a single-jointed bit while distributing pressure evenly over the tongue and bars of the mouth. This promotes a soft contact, enabling clear aids through the reins. The copper lozenge adds a positive effect and encourages acceptance of the bit. Copper is a warm and soft metal, emitting a sweet taste that encourages salivation and mouthing on the bit.

Crafted from stainless steel, the snaffle is durable, easy to clean and resistant to rust, ensuring long-lasting performance.
