 | Gags come in various forms, and are the only curb bits with no curb chain option. The English gag is like a snaffle, and is ridden with two reins – one a normal snaffle rein, and the other runs through holes in the top and bottom of the bit ring, giving a curb action, and also a tightening action on the poll. |
This photograph shows a horse wearing an English Gag. Notice how the rein does not attach to the normal ring part of the snaffle, but rather is attached to the smaller ring that is suspended below the snaffle ring.
