Gypsy Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Does anyone know how much shorter a gag bit headstall needs to be?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggiebraider Report post Posted February 3, 2011 I think it depends on the bit. Some gags have longer shanks than others. I have also seen some that wouldnt work with a leather headstall very well, because they use a nylon cord that actually fives the slide action of the bit and it moves up the headstall to gag the horse. Sorry I dont have real numbers for you, I would start with getting the bit or at least measurements for the bit, and maybe even put it on the horse with a piece of cheap nylon cord and when you get it where you want it, make that measurement your center hole. Hope this helps, CW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
