ABBEY Barry Gag
Abbey Barry Gag Bit
This is a severe bit with two mouthpieces spreading the nutcracker action to two areas of the tongue as well as acting on the bars.
Sold fitted with rope cheek pieces included in the price
ABBEY Cheltenham Gag
When you use a conventional gag the rein that is attached to the roundings pulls the bit upwards in the mouth stretching the corner so the lips upwards gripping the horse's head between the lips and the poll and putting pressure on the corners, raising the head. The large rings are particularly used in Polo to give more leverage.
The fixed cheltenham mouth piece makes this action less severe.
