Expert opinion
: The GUSTAV universal bit is a sweet iron single ring bit. The free rings offer a slightly discontinuous contact between the hand and the horse's mouth so that it is easier to play in the fingers and to encourage the horse to come and lighten up in his forehand.The pessoa offers better control through leverage on the nape of the neck. It can also be used with a curb chain. The leverage of the pessoa can be adjusted according to its installation:
- Reins on the bottom ring for maximum leverage.
- Reins on the centre ring for a baucher-type effect.
- Reins with wedding rings for an in-between effect.
Material
Sweet iron : Sweet iron alloy oxidizes when in contact with the humidity of the mouth and the air. The oxidation brings a sweet taste which naturally stimulates the production of saliva. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar that is given to the horse at the beginning of the session but allows to diffuse this sweet taste throughout the work. Consequently, this alloy allows a good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to get in touch with its mouthpiece. The oxydation modifies the aspect of the bit during the sessions.
