Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Eldonian Balding Gag

The Balding Gag has Loose Ring cheeks which are a more mobile bit than an eggbutt or fixed cheek bit, which should encourage your horse to keep a relaxed jaw and mouth the bit. The loose ring may be useful if your horse leans on the bit, or takes hold, as the bit is always movable so the horse cannot take hold as easily as they could with a fixed cheek. This bit is also useful for gaining contact as the movable mouthpiece enables the bit to fit the mouth, contour the mouth natural position and sit comfortably.

This Gag looks like an ordinary loose ring bit, but it has two holes in the ring, vertically; one at the top and one directly underneath. This bit is used with gag cheeks, the gag cheeks thread through the holes they are normally either made out of rolled leather or cord – the leather cheeks look better but they dont slide through the cheeks as quickly as the cord ones do, which means the cord gag cheeks have a faster and clearer aid. The Balding gag should be used with two reins, the first rein should be attached to the actual bit ring and then the second should be attached to the rings on the gag cheeks. The rein on the first ring should act as though a normal loose ring Snaffle would. But the second rein on the gag cheek has a running effect using poll pressure, lip pressure and various pressures in the mouth depending on the mouthpiece of the bit. The poll pressure encourages the horse to lower the head becoming round giving an outline and gives great help with breaks, and is normally superb used on strong horses. This bit would be useful if your horse goes on the forehand or is heavy on the front end, it should encourage your horse to lift up off the forehand and ride from the quarters.
