Gags in general are great because its not an instant yank or tug in the horses mouth every time you pick up the reins, so horses learn in gags to anticipate the cues you give them without throwing a fit. In my experience, the simplicity is great for finished horses who are drama queens about there mouths. The heaviest bit I run in is a Goosetree long shank double gag with a chain mouthpiece, and that's not too bad as far as bits go. I really like a smooth mouth simplicity for all my super light horses. I should probably own stock in Goosetree bits, as I think I have multiples of all her gags. First stage is simple snaffle, second stage is a cheap draw gag with a smooth mouthpiece and a rope headstall (nothing fancy ), and when they graduate from that I move to a Carol Goosetree simplicity or double gag. Just for kicks I put it on a 2yo (did not do well- too young and inexperienced for it ) and a 10yo (not very light on her feet, tends to over react at gag action bits anyways ) and my 5yo that did fine but would honestly probably do well in a shoe string. That's really all I do "in her mouth." I feel like a pushy or dull- mouthed horse would not do well in these bits. I use my inside rein to bend/flex her at all gates and I guide her around the barrels. I think she is going to be a little horse with a lot of power so that is just fine by me. I really don't have to touch her face much at all so she has stayed really light but I think the pull and release with this bit has kept her extra responsive and respectful. I feel like I could get away with using a dog bone on her but she is doing really well in this bit so I'm not going to change it. I use a thick curved twisted broken mouth. I put it on her as a whim once we got done with all of the basic work and were about to start the pattern. I was afraid of using a draw bit because of the horror stories of people not knowing how to use them correctly. I have my 3yo in a homemade braided headstall and a knock off (I'm pretty sure ) bit. My step up from a loomis is a simplicity, so thats another option if you want a similar action. IDK if it's because it keeps on giving as you pull, or because I didn't do something right. The only problem I have had with them, and it may be something I am doing with my training, is mine can pop off a barrel when I ask to finish the turn in a loomis. I love it on young horses and soft horses. The other, I didn't even attempt it because I could see that happening. One of them will get pushy on it and I have found she is just better if I ride her in something more. I ride a lot of horses in it during the week, but I do not ride my two finished horses in it anymore. I love both of them and definitely would not get rid of the Loomis I have. I have a loomis with a smooth mouthpiece and then a cheaper one thats a twisted wire. Hey my palomino FDF filly is also a rabicano, which means she looks really pale and washed out unless you get close enough to see all her speckles :P ![]()
