Details about COTTAGE CRAFT HOLLOW MOUTH GAG 5 1/4"
Cottagecraft Hollow Mouth Gag Snaffle (Actual picture here) This hollow mouth loose ring gag is also known as a Balding Gag. This gag has loose ring cheeks which are useful if your horse leans on the bit. This gag looks like an ordinary loose ring bit, but it has two vertical holes in the ring; one at the top and one directly underneath. This bit is used with gag cheeks (either leather or nylon) that thread through the holes. The Balding gag should be used with two reins, the first rein should be attached to the actual bit ring and then the second should be attached to the rings on the gag cheeks. This bit can be useful if your horse goes on the forehand or is heavy on the front end; it should encourage your horse to lift up off the forehand and ride from the quarters. This bit has a hollow mouth piece which is lighter in the horses mouth. Hollow mouthed bits are milder than the solid mouth pieces because they are thicker in diameter and therefore distribute the pressure over a larger area.
