WTP Polo Gag (67mm Rings) Normal Plate bit. A ideal solution for the serious polo pony rider.
There is no other bit designer that has been able to achieve a more comfortable solution to providing comfortable tongue pressure as opposed to tongue relief to remove objections from the horse that has a sensitive tongue. The WTP plate prevents bit pinching and reduces tongue pressure by 85% proven under engineering conditions.
The bit arms have limited travel reducing outer ring pressure preventing pain to the cheeks and lips by reducing the nut cracker action of the traditional snaffle. The bit design geometry is angled to remove any pain to the roof, tongue and bars of the horses mouth during active rein take up and removing any chance of soft palate displacement.
For Polo players the bit offers greater control and a more willing horse when flipping from one direction to the next together with greater stopping power as the pain associated with bits working under extreme conditions is removed. This promotes better communication between horse and rider while the bit design improves the horses breathing as the tongue is more settled within the mouth cavity and drawn back less which can reduce air flow to the lungs improving Oxygen take up and performance.
The gag action ensures the rider has maximum stopping power and the ponies front end remains balance and light.
