This stainless steel bit is useful when control is an issue. The top ring attaches to the cheek pieces of the bridle and you can attach the reins to any of the three lower rings to provide a variety of different leverage options. Also known as a continental bit, it works by raising the bit in the horse's mouth in a similar way to a Cheltenham Gag but without the same severity.
The 5" and smaller sizes of this bit have smaller rings to ensure the bit remains in proportion.
Mouthpiece thickness: 21mm. Cheek height: 160mm (4.5", 5"), 180mm (5.5", 6").
