Waterford Butterfly Gag - Where can I get a try buy from

[Shipley]

I really want to try a waterford butterfly gag in 5.5 can anyone recomend a website I can try buy from. Its for SJ and XC to give me a bit more control than the snaffle / fulmer waterford.

thanks

There is no such thing as a butterfly gag - which is probably a problem when searching

Do you mean a butterfly flip bit? Which is a modified kimblewick and not a gag

Or do you mean a butterfly pelham? Also not a gag

Or do you mean something completely different - waterford continental gags are very common?

Thanks - opps I have got the name wrong I mean a gag with only one ring instead of 2 for the reins to go on does that make sence?

You mean either a waterford universal or a two ring/three ring dutch gag/continental snaffle (they have different names depending on the shop) I think:

Universal:

Two ring gag:

ETA: If you are meaning the second one then there is absolutely no difference between using that and using a waterford dutch gag on the corresponding rein ring....
