Bombers Loose Ring Gag Buster Roller

Bombers Loose Ring Buster Roller.  Available in Big Ring for Polo and medium (standard) ring options.

Note: This does not include gag ropes.  They are available HERE

A gag works by lifting the bit in the mouth in order to encourage the head to be raised. Often used on strong horses that like to lower their heads in order to escape the action of the bit in the mouth and get very strong.

When pressure is applied to the rein, the bit is lifted in the mouth and poll pressure is applied. The bit also rotates slightly in the mouth putting more pressure on the tongue and bars.

Cheekpiece

This is a very popular bit on the Polo field.

To be correctly used, it must be used with two reins one on the gag rein and one on the bit, only bringing the gag rein into play when needed, although most people ride on the gag rein only.

Mouthpiece

The Buster Roller link is shortened which increases bar and tongue pressure making this mouthpiece sharper than conventional link bits. The increased pressure on the bar will lift the head and the roller will increase pressure on the tongue bringing the chin in. Best suited for a horse with a low head carriage and which leans on the bit. Also available in a ported version called the McHardy.
