As most wolf teeth are in the upper jaw (maxilla), for most of the time the bit will usually not contact them. But when a horse throws its head etc, there is chance of the bit contacting the wolf tooth as the reins draw the bit backwards in the mouth. Wolf teeth do have nerves, and are held in the highly innervated gums and bone by the periodontal ligament.

Elevator Bits. Elevator bits give the rider more leverage then most bits. Elevator bits put pressure on the cheek pieces of the bridle, which in turn pull down on the poll. Elevator bits are used for Eventing, or Jumpers. Elevator bits are available from our top brands like Centaur, Pessoa, or Korsteel in a variety of sizes to suit your horse.

I still use 3 elevators to get hay to various places. 2 are PTO driven and I have a short (14' or so) one that is electric. The electric one is driven by a 1 hoss-pressure 1750 RPM 120V electric motor. The reduction is via sprockets, chains, and jack-shafts. I speculate that the speed of each elevator is @ 20 FPM.

There have been many anecdotal reports of horses improving markedly in their ridden behaviour after wolf teeth have been removed. The most dramatic case I have witnessed was a dressage horse which had a blind wolf tooth, and for the first 10 years of its life, it had not worried the horse.

An elevator bit, commonly called an American gag, is used for training performance horses, such as dressage horses. The elevator bit gives the rider advantage when a horse refuses to bend at the poll by providing leverage, lift and turning power that a basic snaffle lacks.

I am working on restoring an old hay elevator I got for free it is the type with the chain up the center. For my purpose I would like to use a gas power plant. Any ideas on horse power and rpm it is 20 foot long. I was thinking I could use a wheel line mover engine.

Gag bits work off of poll pressure. They also give the horse a warning before the bit engages. Typically, folks use a gag bit to get more lift in the shoulders with a gag bit. As an FYI, gag bits are usually illegal for showing classes such as western pleasure and reining. A gag bit is ANY bit that allows the mouthpiece to slide.
