Trust Sweet Iron 2,5 eggbutt medium port

The straight bit provides constant, symmetrical contact. It helps the horse to make contact with the bit, and is best suited to horses that find it difficult to tense up with articulated bits. The straight barrel exerts direct pressure on the tongue and bars, while freeing the palate. The fact that it is straight ensures symmetrical left/right contact from the hand to the mouth and eliminates any risk of pinching the tongue. All these features help the horse to gain confidence in its mouthpiece. Its sweet iron alloy encourages the horse to chew and salivate, providing relaxation. 

The pessoa/olives version offers a lowering effect while providing good contact. In fact, the olives (fixed bit) offer more direct contact between the hand and the horse's mouth, encouraging him to seek tension. It protects the commissures from any risk of pinching. The leverage action is less pronounced than on a classic pessoa, as pressure is exerted more on the mouth with the olive.
