Waterford blue steel full cheek gag bit

Sweet iron/ Blue steel: 54% carbon, 46% manganèse. Sweet iron bits gets oxidized with air and humidity. Then comes a thin line of rust has a sweet taste, and stimulates the saliva. By getting more saliva the horse gets more contact on its bit. The oxydation process will change the color to grey / brown.

The gag bit works on the balance of the horse. It helps the rider make the horse work on his hind-end. It's a great tool to divide the points of pressure on the mouth and the poll. This type of bit can be used by amateurs and experts. You will see them often in the show ring. It needs specific cheek parts. It can also be used with only one pair of reins, or with bit connectors, or with 2 pairs of reins. It's a good channelising bit thanks to the full cheek side pieces. Sweet iron helps the horse relax and makes him salivate. The waterford bit is strong and comfortable, the horse respects but doesn't fear the and. Better relaxation especially for the pulling horses.

Clean with water after each use and occasionally with a special cleaning product for bits.
