Gag bits and levers use leverage and poll pressure as an additional aid, helping with training and improved control of the horse. The level of severity increases with the length of shank, so these bits should be used with caution.
When selecting the correct bit for your horse remember that conformation, age, stage of training, type of work, oral health and your ability as a rider are all contributing factors. If in doubt, it’s recommended that the rider seek advice from their instructor when choosing a bit.
