The 2466 Silver Wings Elevator / Gag bit is a leverage/regulation bit: when reins are engaged, it raises (lifts) in the horse’s mouth and increases pressure on poll, tongue, and bars. It still integrates the Silver Wings side plates to guard the mouth corners and maintain stability. Because of the gag action, it offers stronger control and is suitable only for experienced riders.

Description

2466 Silver Wings Elevator Bit Double Jointed

The Silver Wings bits offer special protection for the corners of the mouth with their characteristic side bit plates, preventing the sensitive skin from being pinched by the sliding rings. The sliding rings ensure that the anatomical mouthpiece always returns to a neutral position and rests gently in the horse's mouth. At the same time, the bit plates provide lateral guidance and stabilize the position of the bit in the horse's mouth, offering slight lateral influence that can particularly support young horses in bending and turns.

The Silver Wings Elevator Bit is used with elevator cheeks, which pass through the bit rings and have a ring at the bottom. Elevator bits can be used with one or two reins. When the rein is engaged, the pressure on the poll is increased, the bit tilts in the mouth, and is lifted upwards, thereby increasing the pressure on the horse's tongue and bars. As the name suggests, an elevator bit is designed to help raise the horse's head. The elevator bit provides maximum control and is only suitable for experienced riders!

Advantages at a Glance

Mouth Friendliness and Comfort

The side plates of the bit prevent painful pinching of the corners of the mouth and ensure a stable position in the horse's mouth.
The bit plates allow for gentle lateral influence on the horse's mouth and can aid in bending and turning.

Pressure Distribution

The double jointed mouthpiece evenly distributes pressure over the tongue and bars of the horse.
Use only with elevator cheeks: when the rein is engaged, pressure on the horse's poll, tongue, and bars is increased.

Stainless Steel Mouthpiece

Made from stainless steel, the bit is robust, tasteless, and odorless.

For Which Horses is This Bit Especially Suitable?

For horses with sensitive mouths
For horses that pull down strongly
For horses that need better head elevation
For horses that require slight lateral stability

Note on Proper Use

The elevator bit is a severe bit and should only be used by experienced riders and not for prolonged periods. Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly, and this is especially true for bits with leverage effects. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse. Please contact us with any questions about size and fastening, or read more about choosing the right size [here] and proper fitting.

Size Guide

Measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer, string, or dowel between the corners of the lips (at the position where the bit will sit), mark the ends, then measure the distance.

The bit width should be such that the rings rest just outside (or very slightly beyond) the lip corners—if the bit is too narrow, it will pinch; too wide, it will shift side to side.

For loose ring bits, allow a little “play” so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.

When mounted in the bridle, the bit should sit such that there is 1–2 small wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (but this is not a perfect rule for all jointed bits)

The bit should lie on the bars (the toothless gap between incisors and molars) and not press into teeth or interfere with the palate.

Care Instructions

Washing
After each ride, rinse or wipe the bit to remove saliva, feed residues, or sweat. Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral detergent or saddle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal surface and reduce the bit’s longevity.

Drying
Once cleaned, dry the bit thoroughly with a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not expose the bit to direct sunlight, and never place it on or near heat sources such as heaters or radiators.

Storage
Store your bit in a dry, well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. For best results, keep bits individually or padded to prevent metal parts from rubbing or scratching each other. Avoid leaving the bit attached to the bridle for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.

Guidance

The elastic rubbers are removable and can be replaced with different grades/materials (EPDM or silicone), allowing adjustment of the bit’s feel and connection hardness. Because of the elasticity, the Bucephalus bit offers some forgiveness to sharper rein aids, which can help in developing a softer, more consistent contact. Ensure the elastic rubbers are mounted symmetrically to avoid twisting or tilting of the bit. Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse.
