Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Gag Waterford - 16mm

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.

Gag Bit

• A gag bit is used with cheek pieces for a gag bit that pass through the rings of the bit and are attached to the headpiece of the bridle.
• At the bottom of this retrieval cord is a ring to which the rein is attached. When taking the reins, the bit slides up in the mouth and gives pressure behind the ears.
• The gag snaffle is designed to stimulate the horse to raise its head and is often used on horses that "lean".
• A gag snaffle can be used with 1 or 2 reins
• This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders and horse.

Full Cheek Loops:

• To make a full cheek even more effective, a full cheek loop can be attached to the cheek piece of the bridle on either side of the bit.
• The end of the top bar is pushed through this.
• Leverage is created by using these loops.
• Prevents the bars from getting caught under the noseband of the bridle.

Waterford

• The waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links that flexibly conform to the horse's mouth, creating an even pressure distribution.
  
• The Waterford mouthpiece is movable in all directions making it difficult for the horse to grasp the bit.
  
• A Waterford mouthpiece is not suitable for inexperienced riders, with a soft hand this mouthpiece is friendly but with a hard hand the bit can be sharp.
