Expert opinion : The John Goyo Aga bit is double snaffle bit. The Goyo-Aga bit has a strong action as it is used with a curb chain and puts pressure on the bars with a leverage effect on the neck. Its double break protects the palate of the horse and surrounds the tongue, which makes it an interesting bit for sensitive horses since it favors a soft, light and constant contact. It is mainly used for horses with a lot of natural impulsion and can be used in 3 ways :

  1. Soft, with the reins attached to the top notch, it is halfway between the effect of the olive bit and the baucher.
  2. Severe, with the reins in the bottom notch, where the leverage is most important.
  3. Medium, with the reins in the middle notch, where the leverage is less important than if you put the rein down. The curb chain, if it is more or less tight, makes the bit more or less severe.

Sweet Iron: Sweet Iron alloy oxidises on contact with moisture in the mouth and air. Oxidation produces a sweet taste that naturally stimulates saliva production. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar given to the horse at the beginning of the session, but allows this sweet taste to be diffused throughout the work. As a result, this alloy ensures good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to make contact with the mouthpiece. Oxidation changes the appearance of the bit over the course of the sessions.
