Default TitleAbout the Bit
The Merrill Short Gag with Chain Dogbone Roller is designed for riders who want gentle, responsive communication with their horse. The short shank provides mild leverage, making it ideal for young horses moving up from a snaffle or for sensitive, experienced horses that need light, precise cues.
The chain mouthpiece has multiple breaks for a softer feel, while the dogbone roller encourages jaw relaxation and focus. This combination promotes softness in the face, responsiveness, and balanced performance, helping your horse stay light and attentive to every rein cue.
