Jake Adams Double Jointed Leather Covered Loose Ring Gag Bit

We love this bit from Jake Adams for the softer leather. It provides a gentler surface than a traditional metal bit!

The Double Jointed Leather Covered Loose Ring Gag Bit has a stainless steel core wrapped in leather, providing strength while offering a softer surface than a bare metal bit. The leather softens slightly when moistened, giving a gentler surface for horses with sensitive mouths. Flat, non-abrasive stitching keeps the mouthpiece smooth, reducing the risk of irritation.

The loose ring gag cheekpieces allow smooth rein movement, providing controlled lift while letting the mouthpiece move freely. The double-jointed mouthpiece has a central link that distributes pressure evenly and reduces the nutcracker effect. Ideal for horses that benefit from a mobile gag bit with a softer, leather covered mouthpiece.

Key Features of the Leather-Covered Mouthpiece:

• Softens with Saliva: The leather covering the bit becomes more pliable when moistened, offering a gentler surface for horses that prefer softer mouthpieces and encouraging better acceptance in sensitive mouths.
• Durable Core with Leather Overlay: A solid metal core wrapped in high-quality leather combines strength with a softer feel compared to bare metal bits.
• Flat, Non-Abrasive Stitching: The stitching lies flush against the leather, reducing the chance of rubbing or irritation and keeping the mouthpiece comfortable for the horse.

Double Jointed Features:

• Even Pressure Distribution: The two joints with a center link reduce palate pressure and distributes contact more evenly across the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth.
• Tongue Pressure Variation: The size and shape of the center link influence how much tongue pressure is applied, making it adaptable for horses with different mouth conformations.
• Greater Mobility: The design allows the mouthpiece to move more freely than a single joint, improving comfort and reducing resistance in many horses.

Loose Ring Gag Design Features:

• Added Lift When Needed: The loose ring gag design allows the rider to apply gentle upward pressure, helping horses maintain a lighter head position when needed.
• Flexible Mouth Movement: The loose ring design allows more movement of the mouthpiece, which encourages the horse to relax and accept the bit without feeling restricted.
• Encourages Responsiveness: Even with the added lift, the design encourages smooth communication between the rider and horse, helping the horse stay engaged without tension.
