Reinsman Josey Mitchell Short Shank Reverse Gag Bit 0114-2000

The Josey-Mitchell Short Shank Reverse Gag is a good fit for broke horses that stay responsive to lighter cues but still need some added control. The shorter 6 1/2" shank limits excess leverage, making it easier for the rider to communicate without over-engaging the bit—ideal for maintaining a softer, more consistent feel.

The 5/16" copper and sweet iron mouthpiece encourages salivation and helps keep the horse relaxed in the bridle, which can be especially useful for horses that tend to get tight or brace under pressure. The reverse gag action provides subtle lift, helping the horse stay elevated and balanced without over-flexing at the poll.

This bit works well for riders who prefer lighter hands and need a dependable option for maintaining responsiveness, particularly on horses that don’t require a lot of correction but benefit from clear, refined cues.
