SmoothShape Gag Bit

Please note: this item is final sale and no returns or exchanges apply.

SmoothShape bits are our take on the Waterford mouthpiece. SmoothShape bits are made of stainless steel bits that have been sanded down and polished for horses comfort. 

The classic Waterford is a bit that’s often used for correcting horse’s that lock their jaws or lean on the bit. The design typically include sharp or protruding links that make leaning uncomfortable for the horse.

Our take on the Waterford mouthpiece is that it need not be sharp or uncomfortable for the horse. The multiple links ensure that the bit is highly mobile and there is not much to “hang on to”.

We recommend this mouthpiece for horses that are heavy and unresponsive and need a highly mobile bit to achieve acceptance.

The gag cheekpiece delivers pressure on the poll and corners of the mouth by pulling through the gag rings on the bit which creates a leverage effect.

This cheekpiece is ideal for the rider that wants to control the amount of leverage and poll pressure applied throughout the ride and only apply it selectively.

Must be used with gag cheek ropes and a second rein.
