Gustav Sweet iron Fixed eggbutt rings - Fager

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.

Gustav is an ideal design for sensitive-mouthed horses who need to lay more on the bit and can overreact when you take the reins.

NOTE: Gustav can be used in two ways: Either with tongue relief or with bar relief.

For tongue relief - If you would describe your horse as the following:

• Inconsistent in the contact.
• Pulls away or up when you take up the reins.
• Attempts to put their tongue over the bit.
• Fussy mouthed.

For bar relief - Turn the bit upside down. If you would describe your horse as the following:

• Inconsistent in the contact.
• Stiff or rigid to ride.
• Bites on the bit, attempts to pull it back.
• Doesn’t seek the contact towards the bit.
• Drops the contact.
• Falls behind the hand.

Fixed rings are attached to the mouthpiece, and the reins’ contact will be more still towards the mouth. Fixed rings will encourage a horse to keep the contact towards the bit and create a stable feeling for both the horse and rider.
