Overview
A great addition to the Stubben EZ Control Bit Collection, the 3-Ring Gag Bit is an innovative twist on the classic gag bit. Crafted from high-quality Stubben Steeltec that won't rust, this bit provides pressure on the tongue, bars, and poll. When the reins are engaged with light pressure, the mouthpiece acts as a snaffle, but as pressure increases, it functions as a mullen mouth. The ergonomically shaped mouthpiece fits comfortably in the horse's mouth, while the three-piece design eliminates the nutcracker effect or palate pressure for a more comfortable ride.
The unique cheekpieces offer the traditional "gag" action through a sliding mouthpiece which promotes stronger poll pressure, providing the rider with more control. Also, a stronger lateral effect is achieved due to the center connection of the mouthpiece to the cheek pieces. This aids in avoidance of the bit and provides correction to resistance of direct rein pressure. The sliding gag mechanism is quicker due to the center fulcrum for enhanced communication between horse and rider.

Comments: I really, really, really like this bit for strong horses. My Rocky Mountain horse mare, Freya aka Freight Train Freya, sometimes needs a good dose of brakes, esp in the first 5-10 miles of competition. I love that this bit only amps up as she does
