BIT WATERFORD 2.5 RING GAG

The Waterford 2.5 Ring Gag from Bombers Bits offers a mild gag action, which can be useful for horses that require a stronger bit than a snaffle for show jumping and cross-country. The Waterford mouthpiece is made up of a series of flexible ball links, which spread the pressure around the horse's mouth, encouraging mouthing and salivating while deterring the horse from leaning on the bit.

The top ring is attached to the cheekpieces to apply pressure to the poll, causing the horse’s head to lower, while the half-ring provides leverage, creating a head-raising action. When these two actions combine, it results in the so-called gag action.
