The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Gag | Jointed | 16mm is designed to provide control and comfort while offering clear communication. The full cheekpieces keep the bit stable in the horse’s mouth, preventing excessive movement and ensuring a steady connection between rider and horse. The gag action applies pressure to the poll and jaw, helping to lift the horse’s head and improve balance.

The jointed mouthpiece creates a mild nutcracker effect, applying pressure to the tongue and bars. This design helps encourage the horse to soften and respond to rein aids, making it ideal for horses that need clearer guidance without harsh pressure.

Made from Sweet Iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes when exposed to moisture, producing a sweet taste that stimulates saliva production and enhances bit acceptance. Over time, the blue color of Sweet Iron will gradually turn into a brownish-grey as part of the natural oxidation process.

With a thickness of 16mm, the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Gag | Jointed | 16mm ensures even pressure distribution across the tongue and bars, providing a balanced and responsive connection while maintaining comfort for the horse.
