Description
The Premier Equine Three Ring Dutch Gag with Copper Lozenge is a double jointed stainless steel horse bit, also known as a continental bit, available in four sizes from 4.5 inch (114mm) to 6 inch (152mm). The top ring attaches to the bridle's cheek pieces, with three lower rings offering a variety of leverage options to suit different schooling needs.
- Three Ring Dutch Gag (continental bit) design - raises the bit in the horse's mouth in a similar way to a traditional gag but without the same severity
- Top ring attaches to cheek pieces; reins can be attached to any of the three lower rings for varied leverage
- Using the lower rings significantly increases poll pressure - Premier Equine recommend using two reins or roundings attached to a single rein to maintain correct contact on the snaffle ring without poll pressure when needed
- Double jointed mouthpiece with copper lozenge distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars of the mouth whilst reducing the nutcracker action of a single jointed bit
- Copper is a warm metal which encourages the horse to salivate and mouth on the bit
- Made from stainless steel - easy to clean and does not rust
- Measurements (A & B as per Premier Equine size guide): 4.5" & 5" - A=16mm, B=145mm | 5.5" - A=16mm, B=180mm

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Premier Equine Three Ring Dutch Gag with Copper Lozenge come in?
This bit is available in four sizes: 4.5 Inch (114mm), 5 Inch (127mm), 5.5 Inch (140mm), and 6 Inch (152mm).
What are the A and B measurements for this bit?
As per the Premier Equine size guide: for the 4.5" and 5" sizes, A=16mm and B=145mm. For the 5.5" size, A=16mm and B=180mm.
Why does Premier Equine recommend using two reins or roundings with this bit?
Attaching the reins to the lower rings significantly increases poll pressure. Using two reins or roundings attached to a single rein ensures a correct contact can be maintained on the snaffle ring without applying poll pressure when it is not needed.
What is the benefit of the copper lozenge in the mouthpiece?
The copper lozenge sits at the centre of the double jointed mouthpiece. Copper is a warm metal that encourages the horse to salivate and mouth on the bit, and the double jointed design distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and bars whilst reducing the nutcracker action associated with single jointed bits.
What material is this Three Ring Dutch Gag made from?
The bit is made from stainless steel, which is easy to clean and does not rust, with a copper lozenge at the centre of the mouthpiece.
