What type of bit is known as a 3 ring gag?

A 3 ring gag is specifically designed to provide different levels of control and leverage through its unique multiple rings. It allows the rider to attach the reins in various positions, which can change the severity of the bit's action on the horse's mouth.

When the reins are attached to the lower ring, the bit acts more like a traditional snaffle, providing a gentle pull. When attached to the higher ring, it uses leverage to create more pressure, thus encouraging the horse to lower its head and respond to the rider's cues more effectively. This versatility makes the 3 ring gag a popular choice for riders who need an adaptable bit for different situations.

Other choices such as the Fulmer snaffle, Kimblewick, and Draft bit do not have the same design features or functionalities as a 3 ring gag, which focuses on the multi-ring design to enhance control and communication between horse and rider.
