The lifter gag action lifts the bit slightly under rein pressure, encouraging the horse to lift its head modestly and accept the bit forward, reducing over-flexion and promoting a respectful, responsive outline. The sweet iron mouth fosters natural salivation for a softer feel, while rubber guards reduce rubbing and irritation, making it suitable for longer training sessions. Ideal for riders who want improved timing, subtle leverage, and reliable transitions without heavy-handed restraints.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AJ Tack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52433868620051,"sku":"254328C9","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/9415\/7075\/files\/254328c9_126__1_4cad67e3-d3da-47a6-b2e4-3e4cc18741db.jpg?v=1762714734","url":"https:\/\/www.everestranchstore.com\/products\/aj-tack-long-shank-lifter-gag-bit","provider":"Everest Ranch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
