Dogbone

This bit gives you more flex and bend than the original lifter. I love the short shank for starting colts and the long shank for running the more solid horse. This mouthpiece offers similar benefits of the twisted wire snaffle with added flex and bend.

Increased gag action makes our 0118-2000 Josey-Mitchell Side Pull bit less intimidating while still providing enough leverage to increase shoulder control and balance. The twisted wire dogbone mouthpiece offers additional leverage to the corners of the mouth to provide a light, responsive feel so the rider can reframe and rebalance a horse who tends to lean on the bridle. Three-piece bits are great options for the rider who wants to avoid the potential of the nutcracker effect. Martha Josey is quite the legend within the barrel racing industry through her vast accomplishments and highly sought-after year-round clinics. She is an 11-Time NFR Qualifier in Barrel Racing, 1980 NFR World Champion, WPRA and NBHA Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist Barrel Racer, and World-Renowned Clinician.

The Double Gag is intended for a rider to use on a light-mouthed horse that may need more direction and lift in competition runs as speed increases. The slight gag action gives the horse a chance to prepare for full contact before the rider actually engages the bit 100%. This bit is comfortable, safe and provides a tremendous amount of feel for the rider without being too harsh. Each bit in the Double Gag line can be flipped depending on desired leverage, essentially making it two bits in one. Available in short and long shanks.

The unique design of this bit offers direct contact similar to a ring snaffle with the shoulder elevation of a gag and the collection from a curb strap. This is a great training or transition bit. The gag movement allows the horse to give at the poll before the curb comes into effect. All of these bits should be adjusted to fit with one wrinkle in the horse's mouth and a loose curb strap to allow 2-3 fingers. This mouthpiece is soft on the bars, making this bit good for lateral control and collection. A wonderful choice when transitioning from a D-Ring or O-Ring snaffle.NOTE: This bit will rust when exposed to moisture. This creates a sweet taste in the horses mouth and promotes salivation.
