The AJ Tack Short Shank Chain Gag Bit is a popular, versatile training tool for riders who want tactile mouthpiece engagement with moderate gag leverage.

• 5" Sweet Iron Twisted Chain Mouthpiece — Twisted chain construction adds significant tactile communication texture for horses that need more distinct mouthpiece engagement; sweet iron promotes salivation for a relaxed, responsive mouth
• 6 1/2" Stainless Steel Short Shank Sliding Gag Cheeks — Moderate shank length provides balanced leverage and lift; sliding gag action encourages poll flexion and head carriage for collection-oriented training work
• Twisted Chain — Distinctive Communication — Chain mouthpiece provides a more defined, less predictable surface than a smooth or twisted wire alternative; suited for horses that have desensitized to simpler mouthpieces
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction — Rust-resistant stainless cheeks for lasting performance through regular training and arena use
• Training and Performance Use — A trusted, versatile bit for riders fine-tuning responsiveness and collection across western training and performance disciplines
