The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Gag | Slow Twist | Jointed | 16mm is a strong bit designed for riders who need increased control, particularly with forward or heavy horses. The gag design applies leverage by lifting the bit in the horse’s mouth when the reins are engaged, encouraging the horse to raise its head. The loose rings enhance flexibility and allow the bit to move freely, promoting relaxation and encouraging soft contact.

The mouthpiece features a slow twist with a single joint, creating more focused pressure on the tongue and bars than a smooth jointed bit. This sharper design is ideal for horses that tend to lean on the bit or are less responsive to milder mouthpieces.

Made from Sweet Iron, the bit oxidizes naturally when it comes into contact with moisture, producing a sweet taste that stimulates saliva production. This improves bit acceptance and encourages the horse to stay relaxed in the mouth. Over time, the blue Sweet Iron will gradually change to a brownish-grey as part of the natural oxidation process.

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Gag | Slow Twist | Jointed | 16mm is best suited for experienced riders who need a responsive bit with leverage and sharper action to maintain control in demanding situations.
