I think FeeFee is looking for something different, your looking for a lozenged/french link, FeeFee is looking for the one with 2 mouthpieces

F, have you tried Equiport?
 
Thanks guys, yep KatB is right one with two seperate mouthpieces....after searchng for barry gag ive found one (Thanks CotswoldSJ)....

I tried a sjer in one recently - would you be concerned it was in such a strong bit, especially as its used for polo?? Although, i have to say - the horse went very well in it.
 
Nope - if you are not pulling on the mouth then you aren't doing any damage. Hauling on a snaffle is far worse.

However you need to be balanced enough so you are not using the mouth for balance (which from the video's you don't)

Its horses for courses, and I've used one on a hano mare to correct her leaning on me.

It is a W mouth cheltenham gag. A barry gag is one with fulmer type cheeks.

Sorry that's balls !

You'd be hard pushed to find an eggbutt or full cheek with double mouth as its only loose ring, and the correct name is BARRY GAG

You can find ones with twisted mouths though!!

Now I'm going to have a pedantic moment . . .;)

A "Fulmer" is not the same as a "full cheek" and, looking at the link, a Nelson gag has full cheek rings. I know it's entered common usage but that doesn't make it right.

Fulmer snaffle are the ones with full cheeks against the mouthpiece then a loose ring for the reins and cheekpieces. It's a very specific bit, so named for the Fulmer School of Equitation, for which it was the standard training choice. It's also called an Australian snaffle, as it's a standard stockman's choice, and presumably the Spanish Riding school has another name for it, as they use it a lot on young horses.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

. I have had this argument SO many times, but no-one (including KatB I seem to remember

) believed me! You see many more full cheeked bits than fulmers, and the Nelson is indeed a full cheeked example, NOT a Fulmer.
