Location: North Dakota | When do you use them on a horse and what are you trying to accomplish when using one? Are they good for slow work focusing on softening and lateral flexion?

| My mare has had issues with running through the bit and stiffening up around turns, but she loves this one! I used to try to use a snaffle to keep her mouth soft when tuning and working on patterns, but this does the job even better! I put it on her for slow work and the results have been amazing. She is able to stay under herself and doesn't hollow out when turning, it helps her stay supple and soft mouthed as well. I have to keep light hands on her with it, but that is standard for most bits anyways.
I have one with a three piece dogbone, no twisted wire or anything. |

Where did you find the 3 piece dogbone? |

Are you referring to the Dutton gags with the rope noses? If so, how do those compare to a regular draw gag? |
