Because the mouthpiece has two joints, it shouldnt cause any interference with the roof of the mouth. The roller uses tongue pressure to encourage the horse to go on the bit and lower the head, it has bar and lip pressure but not a squeezing action like that of a bit with a single joint. The more joints a bit has the less likely the horse is to lean as the bit becomes more mobile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Continental Gag should be worn with 2 reins preferably; the first rein should be used on the snaffle ring, which is the first ring adjacent to the mouthpiece. When the first rein is attached to the snaffle rein it is used just like a loose ring hanging cheek bit, which uses poll pressure and lip pressure due to the sliding loose ring also applies various pressures in the mouth depending on the mouthpiece it is in conjunction with. When the second rein is attached to the ring below, the pressures are increased as the lower rings produce more leverage. In the instance of using 2 reins then this bit can be used as a hanging cheek bit and then when more help is required, the second rein can be brought into play. If the bit is only used with one rein on the lower ring, then the pressure in applied constantly and no pressure release is available for the horse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/7522\/files\/image_fe7d1e4c-2a92-4099-b78e-e2ee38beedb0_compact.jpeg?13863019750237787384\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top Of The Clops","offers":[{"title":"11.5cm","offer_id":56931354149241,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12.5cm","offer_id":56931349332345,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.5cm","offer_id":56931349365113,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14.5cm","offer_id":56931349397881,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/7522\/files\/IMG-3657.jpg?v=1774822993","url":"https:\/\/www.topoftheclops.co.uk\/products\/happy-mouth-roller-3-ring-gag","provider":"Top Of The Clops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
