A three-ring Dutch gag usually consists of four rings in total, but only three rings to which you can attach the reins, hence the name. The top ring attaches to the cheeks of the bridle and you can attach the reins to any of the three bottom rings to have a variety of different leverage options.Also known as a bit continental, it works by lifting the bit into the horse's mouth in the same manner as a traditional gag, but without the same severity. Using the reins on the lower rings significantly increases the pressure of the poll, so we recommend using two reins or rounding's attached to one rein when using these rings. This allows proper contact to be maintained on the snaffle ring without pressure on the neck when necessary.The double-jointed mouthpiece and copper pad distribute pressure evenly over the tongue and mouth bars, while reducing the nutcracker effect of a single-jointed bit. Copper is a hot metal that encourages the horse to salivate and bite the bit.MeasurementsAccording...
