Expert opinion
: The TIM olive bit is a sweet iron double-jointed bit. The joints are positioned away from the tongue, allowing for gentler pressure on the tongue. This can be useful for horses that may overreact when you take the reins and need to maintain constant contact with every movement. The lightweight material keeps the hand feeling light.
Tim joints are angled at 45 degrees and can be used in two ways:
With the horse logo on the right side running forward, the knuckles will give more pressure on the tongue when you take the reins, but also more relief when you give the reins. This can be useful for sensitive horses who want a quicker reaction.
With the horse's logo upside down on the left side, as you move forward, the joints will follow the tongue so that the pressure on the tongue is gentler. This can be useful for sensitive horses who need clear but gentle signals.
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.
