The WTP Polo Gag 100mm NP and a normal plate provides poll leverage while remaining soft in the mouth and reducing tongue pressure.

As the name suggests, this bit is popular with polo riders, but can also be found in the show jumping ring and out of cross country. Polo Gags are used for several reasons:

Polo involves high-speed manoeuvres and quick changes in direction, requiring precise control over the horse.

Gag bits provide additional leverage, allowing the rider to exert more control over the horse’s movements, especially in situations where quick responses are necessary.

The design of the WTP Polo Gag 100mm NP allows for clearer communication between the rider and the horse. The pressure applied to the horse’s mouth and poll helps convey signals more effectively, aiding in steering, stopping, and adjusting speed.

Gag bits can elevate the horse’s head, which can be advantageous in polo where riders need to lift the horse’s shoulders and engage their hindquarters for quick turns and stops.

The WTP Polo Gag 100mm NP offers varying levels of severity depending on how it are used while remaining soft in the horses mouth.

They provide flexibility for riders to adjust the amount of pressure applied to the horse’s mouth, making them suitable for horses with different levels of sensitivity or training.

Overall, polo gags are chosen for their ability to provide control, communication, elevation, and flexibility, which are essential for the fast-paced and dynamic nature of polo matches.

However, it’s important for riders to use them responsibly and ensure proper training and fitting to avoid any discomfort or harm to the horse.

Please note this bit does not come with cheek pieces and that it is recommended to use two pairs of reins with this bit.
