Dutton Twisted Wire Gag Bit

Built for responsiveness and control, the Dutton Twisted Wire Swept Back Gag Bit offers enhanced feel through its long, swept-back gag cheeks and copper-inlaid twisted wire mouthpiece. The single-jointed design applies direct pressure across the tongue and bars while allowing for independent lateral control. The 7 1/2" cheeks provide a mild sliding action for poll pressure and elevation, ideal for horses needing more lift in the shoulders or refinement in collection. With added mullen-style relief and handcrafted durability, this bit blends clear cues with balanced leverage.
