Gustav is constructed with a 100% super smooth surface, even around the joints which are designed to never interfere with or push against the palate. It is a very comfortable bit that shapes naturally around the tongue and relieves the bars from constant pressure.
Thanks to the smooth joints, this bit is a good option for horses who can overreact when you take the reins and have a hard time keeping a consistent contact with the bit.
This model is a good choice if you want the horse to hold on to a stable, consistent contact without getting too strong of stiff in the sides.
Material
Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. The purpose is to disguise the metal taste from stainless steel and create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging the horse to seek more contact and hold on to the bit. Following use, sweet iron will start to oxidize and turn brownish grey, this is to be expected.
Sweet iron is a good choice for horses who need to seek more contact with the bit.
2,5 ringar
The 2,5-ring rings allow variation of the effect to suit different situations and horses: For maximum effect, attach the reins to the bottom ring and this creates a gag effect. For a mix which emulates a mix of a Baucher bit and loose rings, attach the reins to the middle ring. This bit can be used with the Fager Non-swivle hooks and Chain to distribute the pressure more evenly between the poll, chin, and mouth.
