Our Reverse Gag Combo features a high quality rope nose band that is hand tied with knots passing thorough the outside of the shanks for your horses maximum comfort. Excellent bit for a horse that has progressed in its training or competing. The small amount of gag collects your horse and add's suppleness, while also being softer on the mouth. With the mouthpiece being hung forward (reverse) it produces a quicker response, your horse does not get stuck behind leverage and will allow for more bend and flex. The longer length shank is great for a hard runner that needs help shutting down for the turn or alley.
