We love this thoughtful and refined bit from AJR!

Light, refined, and thoughtfully engineered, the Locking Waterford Nelson Gag offers the trusted flexibility of a Waterford mouthpiece without the usual risks of pinching or palate pressure. Its innovative locking mechanism limits movement to a forward and backward motion only, making it an excellent option for low-palate horses.

By removing vertical play, this “pinch less” design helps avoid any unpleasant pinching or collapsing that can occur in standard Waterfords. The series of smooth oval links discourages horses from bracing or leaning, as there’s no rigid surface to latch onto.

The Nelson gag cheekpiece combines the lifting effect of a gag with the stability of full cheek bars, offering excellent directional guidance and control. This makes it ideal for horses that need balance, elevation, and clear rein signals.

With its unique combination of flexibility, lift, and support, the Locking Waterford Nelson Gag is an excellent choice for riders managing strong or heavy-on-the-forehand horses, delivering effective communication without compromising comfort.
