4 ring continental gags

[lydiaandmiffy]

how are u supposed to use these with one rein 2 reins or roundings ive seen loads of different people all using them differently i thought you couldnt ride with them in 1 rein??
i could be wrong i could be imagining someone told me that?

They were designed to be used with two reins and a curb strap. Although the majority of people use only one rein, and i havent seen anyone locally who uses a curb strap. I use roundings on mine (main ring and middle ring) as i only use it for xc, and prefer to use one rein for it.

theres been a thread on Stable yard about dutch gags in the last few pages. I agree totally with Live_wire. You can use it however you want and it will still do something, what it does changes with how you use it, I think it's really neat.
