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 bit types. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any gag snaffle.
Mouthpiece
Multi-jointed/Waterford
A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and gentle, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
