horse tack

[taz42o]

I know this is horse tack but what is the correct name for this piece and how is it used? Also is there anyway to tell the age of it.?

So what is it? Rein guide? Could you post a pic so I can learn?

I just said it is a check line guide or rein guide in my last post.

Yes I know but its been called a "gag loop" here at TN for years that is why I was looking for confirmation..

I believe it is actually called a gag loop.
Ditto

So "gag loop" is the incorrect term? I guess this is a rare example of a mistake that has been repeated many years here on TN. Its a wonder it wasnt corrected earlier. Thanks.

I know why I believed the term 'gag loop', was because PBK once posted a link with them being sold as such.

PBK was never wrong. At least I cant remember when. Could it be 2 names for the same thing?

Heres the post by PBK but the link is discontinued and I cant find a picture of a gag loop.

After more searching I found one at this site listed as a gag loop. page 134.

I think two different items are getting confused .maybe this is a gag hook or loop ?(picture) I dont know but you can see both posted here being called the same thing(link) The one I found I have seen on the side of a harness and it had nothing to do with a bit .

To be safe we could call it "horse harness"

I really dont know horse tack and Im out of my area of expertise. Im sure Im not helping.

Forgot about that post at other site BigC. From the looks of it they have been called by a few names.

That horse harness hardware site you found is pretty good. Im going to save it. But I know what you mean its a bit confusing (for me). I think I see one in the far upper right corner. http://www.leathersupply.com/downloads/catalog/HarnessHardware.pdf
