PLS HELP - Copper/sweet iron gag

[Hollyhorse]

I jump my horse in a happy mouth with roller centre dutch gag (aka 4 ring/continental/bubble bit):

He goes really nicely in this but I would like to start using a metal one - either sweet iron or copper. I've pretty much decided on a copper one but would be interested on anyone's views/preferences...

Ideally I would like the same as my rubber one, ie a french-link/lozenge/roller centre one but can only find single link ones. Does anyone know any websites where I can find double-jointed ones? Something reasonably priced as unfortunately I don't have limitless funds.

Any help much appreciated

Have you tried here?

If not my friend at the yard rides in one. Ill ask her where she got it from.

What about the sweet iron/copper tom thumb bit? It must have a similar action to the gag. Surrey pet supplies have them at a very good price

Thanks - just had a look and they have it but only single linked! I'm starting to think they don't come with double links...

Just had a look at the surrey pet supplies website and their bits are so cheap! They have a sweet iron single link gag which is the least expensive I've found by far so if I get that one I'll definitely buy it from there - thanx

Not so sure about the tom thumb one - he's got a really soft mouth so I'd rather put as little in his mouth as possible.

Neue Schule do double link (lozenge) gags - www.neueschulebits.com. I know because I had one!! They're not copper, but they're an alloy which would be very similar.
