Cheek piece

Gag snaffle with olive head rings

The bit is a combination of a gag snaffle and an olive head bit, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 can be ridden with one or two reins like any gag snaffle.

Mouthpiece

Double broken

Double broken mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double broken bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single broken bits.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
