Trust Equestrian Sweet Iron Curb Gag Locked

Product description

Sweet Iron

• Sweet Iron bits are made of blue steel and release a sweet-tasting surface rust through contact with saliva, which stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This sweet surface rust will cause the horse to foam more and accept the bit better.
• When a Sweet Iron bit is temporarily not used, an orange-brown rust layer can form on the mouthpiece. This can be easily removed by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.

Curb Gag

• A Curb Gag is a kind of gag with the curb gag cord through the bit and behind the chin.
• At the bottom of this curb gag cord is a ring to which the rein is attached.
• When taking the reins, the bit slides up into the mouth and puts pressure on the lower jaw / chin.
• This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Single Jointed

• A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the lips, layers and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
• A single jointed bit rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
• A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.

Locked

• Locked bits resemble a single broken bit, but cannot hinge as much and lock with a lot of rein pressure, turning the bit into a straight bit.
• A locked bit acts with a lot of rein pressure as a straight bit and with little rein pressure as a single jointed bit.
• Locked bits are suitable for horses that run through the hand and are not suitable for an inexperienced rider.
