Achieve Precision and Gentle Control
The Portuguese Gag Bit with Elliptical Link is a versatile and effective bit designed to give riders enhanced control while maintaining the horse's comfort. This bit offers multiple rein placement options, allowing for customizable levels of leverage and pressure to suit the specific needs of both horse and rider.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Leverage Options:
  The Portuguese gag functions like a traditional snaffle bit when reins are attached to the main ring. For increased control, attach the reins to the lower ring. This creates additional leverage, applying gentle poll pressure that encourages the horse to lower its head and maintain a more balanced frame.

• Elliptical Link Mouthpiece:
  The elliptical link features a rounded central piece that is kind to the horse's mouth. This design minimizes pressure on sensitive areas, including the tongue, bars of the mouth, and the palate. The softer distribution of pressure promotes relaxation and encourages a softer, more consistent contact.

• Ideal for Training and Advanced Riding:
  This bit is especially useful for horses that require additional support in situations where control and precision are critical, such as show jumping, eventing, or cross-country. It’s an excellent choice for horses that tend to lift their heads or resist traditional snaffle bits.

• Durable Stainless Steel Construction:
  Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this bit is resistant to rust and wear, ensuring durability and long-term use. The smooth surface and carefully rounded edges provide added comfort for the horse.

Benefits for Horse and Rider:

• Encourages proper head carriage and poll flexion.
• Provides a gentle yet effective means of communication between horse and rider.
• Helps improve rideability and responsiveness during training or competition.
• Suitable for horses of various disciplines and levels of experience.

Bit Size Options:
Available in multiple sizes to ensure a perfect fit for your horse's mouth. Always check your horse's bit size to ensure maximum comfort and performance.

Who Should Use This Bit?
This bit is perfect for riders who need to fine-tune their horse's responsiveness and head position without resorting to harsher methods. It’s a great tool for riders progressing their horse's training or for handling horses that become strong or excitable in demanding situations.

With the Portuguese Gag Bit with Elliptical Link, you can achieve an ideal balance of control, comfort, and performance, making it an essential addition to your tack collection.
