Lorina Flexi Peanut Joint Continental 2 Ring Dutch Gag Young/Sensitive Horses

The continental 2 ring peanut bit is often useful for horses with low palettes, as the lack of nutcracker action helps them to stay more settled and limit discomfort.

The double joint is often preferred by horses as the lack of palette pressure makes the bit more comfortable and relieves pressure on the horses bars.

The plastic covered mouthpiece helps to soften the action of the bit, but does increase the bulk of the mouthpiece so they are not always good for horses with small mouths or limited room due to fleshy cheeks.

The central rolling peanut centre can help to settle a horse that tends to want to put their tongue over the bit by giving the feeling of freedom.

The cheek of the peanut dutch gag involves a series of steel rings, the main snaffle ring with one smaller ring above and below. Correctly, the 2 ring bit should be used with two reins, one on the main snaffle ring, and a second on the lower smaller ring.

Often this bit is only used with one rein on the lower ring, but ideally if only one rein is to be used the bit should be used with roundings to maintain a better contact with the horses mouth. 2 ring dutch gags are ideal for horses that don't need the poll pressure of a 3rd ring.
