Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag - Waterford

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are crafted from durable steel and feature a distinctive blue color. This material is designed to encourage natural salivation, enhancing your horse's comfort and promoting better acceptance of the bit.

Waterford

The Waterford mouthpiece features a series of rounded, flexible links that adapt to the shape of the horse’s mouth, ensuring even pressure distribution. Its multi-directional movement makes it challenging for the horse to take hold of the bit. Designed for experienced riders with soft hands, this bit offers a gentle effect but can become sharp under heavy rein pressure. Misuse or unstable hand usage can lead to severe damage in the horse’s mouth. Use only by professional riders or under the supervision of a trainer.

Curb Gag

A Curb Gag is a variation of the gag bit that includes a curb gag cord running through the bit and positioned behind the chin. The curb gag cord features a ring at the bottom where the rein is attached. When the reins are taken, the bit moves upward in the horse's mouth, applying pressure to the lower jaw and chin. This bit provides additional leverage, making it more effective for horses that may need extra control. It is not suitable for inexperienced riders

Why Proper Sizing Matters

Choosing the correct bit size is essential for your horse’s comfort and performance. A bit that is too small can create painful pressure points and damage the mouth, while a bit that is too large may slide through the horse's mouth, causing discomfort and pinching the corners, potentially leading to wounds. Always ensure the bit fits snugly without being restrictive to keep your horse comfortable and responsive.
