Gag bit with olive head rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and a gag bit. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Sprenger Olive Head Gag Bit Hard Carbon Single Jointed 16mm can be ridden with one or two reins, like any gag bit.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The Sprenger Olive Head Gag Bit Hard Carbon Single Jointed 16mm has a joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.
