Feeling Waterford Gag Bit
Feeling Waterford Gag Bit – Flexibility and control in perfect balance ⚖️
The Feeling Waterford Cheek Bit is a unique bit that provides optimal flexibility and extra control. Thanks to the unique Waterford mouthpiece—constructed with multiple rounded links—this bit conforms smoothly to the horse's mouth and distributes pressure evenly. Combined with the stable action of the cheek sides, this bit is ideal for horses that tend to try to grip the bit or are difficult to guide.
Unique benefits of the Waterford mouthpiece:
-
Movable in all directions : prevents grabbing and makes the bit 'unpredictable' for the horse
-
Flexible design : conforms to the mouth, increasing comfort
-
Even pressure distribution : no hard points in the mouth (provided they are soft in the hand)
-
Please note : Not suitable for inexperienced riders – this bit requires a delicate hand to work correctly and in a horse-friendly manner.
What does the gag action do?
-
Two side bars (toggles) prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth
-
More pressure on the cheeks : makes steering easier, ideal for young or crooked horses
-
Very stable in the mouth : lies quietly, gives clear, honest aids
Extra tip: use with cheek piece loops Attach a cheek piece loop to the cheekpiece on either side of the bit.
This will allow you to slide the top clamp section through, which will allow for:
-
Extra leverage
-
More direct impact
-
Prevents toggles from getting under the noseband
✔️ Perfect for:
-
Horses that like to hang on the bit or grab it
-
Young horses in training that need extra guidance
-
Riders with feeling in their hands who are looking for refined communication
Maintenance: Clean with water and dry after use. Regularly check the links for wear.
Feeling – when you want control without sacrificing softness.
