Italian Leather Construction

The WH Gag Runners are manufactured using Italian leather, providing the traditional appearance and feel expected from quality leather tack.

Leather keepers provide a neat finish, while the stainless steel hardware complements the leather construction.

Screw Fastenings

The runners feature screw fastenings, allowing them to be attached to compatible gag bits without requiring permanent stitching.

Before every ride, check that all fastenings are correctly secured and that the leather and fittings remain in good condition.

Ideal For

• Compatible gag bits.
• Gag cheek systems.
• Replacing worn gag runners.
• Upgrading existing gag-bit setups.
• Everyday training.
• Jumping and other disciplines where this type of bit is appropriate.
• Competition use where permitted under current rules.

Fitting & Use

Gag runners form part of the complete bit and cheekpiece arrangement, so correct fitting is important.

They should:

• Be compatible with the specific gag bit being used.
• Run freely through the appropriate bit rings or holes.
• Be attached securely.
• Sit evenly on both sides.
• Be checked regularly for leather wear or damaged fittings.

The action and severity of a gag setup depend on the bit, cheekpieces, reins, fitting and rider's hands, not simply on the runners themselves.

If you are unsure whether a gag bit is appropriate for your horse, seek advice from an experienced equestrian professional or qualified bit fitter.

Care Instructions

Clean the leather regularly with an appropriate leather tack cleaner and condition when required.

Allow wet leather to dry naturally away from direct heat. Check the screw fastenings, stainless steel fittings and leather for signs of wear before use.
