Expert opinion : The GUSTAV goyo Aya 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 Goyo-Aga bit has a fairly strong action as it is used with a curb chain, putting pressure on the bars with a leverage effect on the nape of the neck. It works effectively to increase acceptance and regular contact. It is mainly used on horses with a lot of natural impulsion and can be used in 3 ways:

  • Gentle with the reins attached to the top notch, it is halfway between the effect of the olive bit and the baucher.
  • Severe, with the reins in the bottom notch, where the leverage is greater.
  • Medium, with the reins in the middle notch, where the leverage is less important than if you put the rein at the bottom.the curb chain, if it is more or less tight makes the bit more or less severe.

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.
