Sweet Iron curbgag eliptical - Trust

The double-jointed combined gag bit helps slightly reduce the “nutcracker” effect on the tongue and palate thanks to its slightly flattened central lozenge. Trust offers a joint with a uniform thickness matching the mouthpiece ends, which prevents any irregularities that could cause discomfort to the horse.

The double joint provides good mobility, helping horses relax—especially those who tend to lean on straight-bar bits. It allows excellent freedom of movement inside the horse’s mouth. This is a versatile bit that can be used for both young horses in training and older horses. Its sweet iron alloy encourages chewing and salivation, promoting relaxation.

The combined bit is similar to a gag bit but includes a leather strap that applies pressure to the chin. When rein tension increases, the action is partially redirected to the back of the noseband, relieving the horse’s mouth. This helps keep the horse calmer, stabilise its head carriage by shifting weight toward the hindquarters, while maintaining good rein contact.

It can be used with two or four reins, or with rein connectors. The pressure on the poll is softer than with a Pessoa or traditional gag bit thanks to the chin strap’s action.
