Merrill Bits Swing Top Medium Gag Chain Dogbone Roller

About the Bit

The Merrill Swing Top Medium Gag Bit with Chain Dogbone Roller is designed for riders who need moderate leverage, precise communication, and comfort for their horse. The medium shank provides effective lift and control without being overpowering, while the Swing Top protects sensitive facial nerves during turns and subtle rein adjustments.

The chain dogbone mouthpiece offers a soft, flexible feel, and the roller encourages jaw relaxation and salivation. This bit provides clear, responsive cues while remaining forgiving, making it ideal for horses that require moderate control with comfort.
