Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Shires Three Ring Dutch Gag With Lozenge come in?
This bit is available in three sizes: 4.5 inch (114mm), 5 inch (127mm), and 5.5 inch (140mm).
Why does the sweet iron mouthpiece encourage salivation?
Sweet iron is known to oxidise slightly in the mouth, producing a mild taste that encourages the horse to salivate and accept the bit more readily.
What is the purpose of the raised copper ribs on this bit?
The raised copper ribs are designed to limit the horse's ability to grip the bit, helping to maintain more responsive and consistent contact.
Do the smaller sizes have a different cheek length?
Yes. Sizes 5 inch and below come with a reduced cheek length to maintain appropriate proportions when used with a smaller horse head.
What role does the copper lozenge play in this bit?
The copper lozenge sits in the centre of the mouthpiece and adds warmth, which can further encourage the horse to accept and relax onto the bit.
