Velari Gag Flex Loose Ring Double Jointed Medium – combines the mobility of loose rings with a double-jointed Flex Medium mouthpiece and the lifting action of a gag bit. As the reins are taken up, the bit moves gently upwards in the horse’s mouth, creating mild pressure at the corners and a subtle signal through the poll. This action can support horses that tend to lean on the rider’s hand and encourage them towards more active self-carriage.
The Flex Medium mouthpiece is made from a non-toxic synthetic material with medium firmness according to the manufacturer. It provides more stability and feedback than a softer Flex version while retaining the characteristic smooth surface of a synthetic mouthpiece. The loose rings provide additional mobility and can encourage activity in the mouth, supporting a flexible and responsive connection with the rider’s hand.
The double-jointed construction distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars while following the natural contours of the horse’s mouth. It also reduces upward movement towards the roof of the mouth, making it particularly suitable for horses with a lower palate according to the manufacturer. The Velari Gag Flex Loose Ring Double Jointed Medium is primarily intended for experienced riders with soft, balanced contact and horses that benefit from even pressure distribution combined with a subtle lifting action.
