Merrill Bits Medium Gag Chain with Dogbone

About the Bit

The Merrill Medium Gag with Chain Dogbone Mouthpiece offers a perfect balance of lift, clarity, and softness. The medium gag cheek provides increased authority compared to a short gag, helping keep the horse elevated in the shoulders and responsive through turns, while remaining comfortable for daily performance.

The chain dogbone mouthpiece naturally flexes and encourages relaxation in the jaw and bend through the poll, making it ideal for horses that need guidance without harshness. Combined with the dogbone center, this bit distributes pressure evenly, delivering clear communication with a forgiving feel.
