Shires Equestrian Two Ring Copper Lozenge Gag Bit

Other reviews were correct that it runs small - I ordered a 6" for my mare who goes in a 5.5" normally and it fits her well. Well manufactured.

The actual measurement of this bit runs true to size, but when in the horse’s mouth it wears small, so definitely order a larger size than you usually use. My mare goes 5.5” for all other bits, but I had to size up to 6” for a comfortable fit with this one.Very good responsiveness with this bit, gives relief to a horse that hangs/plows with a regular snaffle, allows much lighter touch and because horse doesn’t lean on it, is actually kinder to the mouth. It is not dressage legal, so I use it for hacking out or situations where certain horses might lean on or plow through a regular snaffle. I’m happy with the action of this bit for those situations, and so is my mare.

Very nice bit, good price and quality.

Perfect for a horse that gets a little hot out on a trail and you need a little more wha and it does that exact thing for you

Our eventing horse needed a bit more brakes on XC and more “lift” jumping this has really helped.Would recommend.

This feels like a nice quality bit, but runs very small. My QH normally goes in a 5" (in quite literally every other brand I put him in), however this bit runs more like a 4.5". If you are considering purchasing, order a size up.

Not a true 5

After struggling with bit issues I did some research and talked to my instructor and she recommended this one, this bit is awesome! Perfect amount of leverage without backing him off too much!
