Three Ring Gag Double Rotary Bit

For many years riders have been searching for a solution to bitting problems. One principle aim is to achieve the control which is given by a jointed bit, but with the less bulk and a smoother contact of the centre joint with the horses tongue. The full rotary movement of the Ky bit mouthpiece is not restricted like a conventional jointed bit.

After 2 Years of experiments and detailed tests involving numerous riders and their horses, we are pleased to introduce the K.Y Rotary Bit which we claim is the ultimate in jointed bits for the riding industry.

• 1. Perfect Ball centre swivel joint which enables the sides of the bit to “ROTATE” freely 360 degrees independently. This function helps prevent painful pinching of the tongue and lips and gives the horse a more comfortable fitting when bit is in action.
• 2.The riders control is improved due to the “Rotary” bit fitting centre in the horses mouth because the two sides of the bit are of equal length.
• 3.The smooth centre ball joint enables the two sides of the bit to turn independently of each other in a smooth and silent movement.
• Dutch/Continental CheeksThe Continental Gag should be worn with 2 reins preferably; the first rein should be used on the snaffle ring, which is the first ring adjacent to the mouthpiece. When the first rein is attached to the snaffle rein it is used just like a loose ring hanging cheek bit, which uses poll pressure and lip pressure due to the sliding loose ring also applies various pressures in the mouth depending on the mouthpiece it is in conjunction with. When the second rein is attached to the ring below, the pressures are increased as the lower rings produce more leverage. In the instance of using 2 reins then this bit can be used as a hanging cheek bit and then when more help is required, the second rein can be brought into play. If the bit is only used with one rein on the lower ring, then the pressure in applied constantly and no pressure release is available for the horse.

  The gag produces a head raising action and is often used for cross country and/or jumping where the head needs to be raised quickly in order to gain control and so to get ready for the next jump.
