Pony Dental Gag – High-Quality Stainless Steel with Biothane or Leather Straps | Equine Tools Direct

Key Features:

1. Constructed of high‑grade polished stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning. Sized appropriately for ponies/smaller equines, with bite‑plates adapted for smaller mouths. 
2. Strap options: either Biothane® straps (waterproof, easy to clean) or leather straps (traditional, robust). For example: “with heavy duty Biothane straps.” 
3. Ratchet or adjustable mechanism, side‑arms designed to avoid cheek pressure (“spreader effect” in some models) for safety and comfort.
   Usage: For equine dental work on ponies — to hold the mouth open safely while you inspect, float or treat the teeth.
   Why It’s Good: A speculum designed for ponies ensures better fit (less risk of mis‑fitting), stainless steel gives longevity, and strap‑material choice gives flexibility to your environment (field vs stable) and maintenance preferences.
   What To Check: Make sure the size is indeed “pony” (not full‑horse), that the bite plates match pony proportions, confirm which strap material you are getting (Biothane or leather), verify ratchet adjustment range, and check spare parts / maintenance availability.
