Pessoa Olive Medium Trust Bit E26911

The Pessoa straight olive bit provides consistent and symmetrical contact. It facilitates the horse's initial contact with the bit and is particularly suited to horses that have difficulty accepting jointed bits. The straight mouthpiece applies direct pressure to the tongue and bars, while freeing the palate. Its straight shape ensures symmetrical left/right contact from the hand to the mouth and eliminates any risk of pinching the tongue. All these features allow the horse to gain confidence in the bit, to settle and accept the bit, making it an ideal bit for a young horse. The Innosense resin is smooth and soft to the touch, making it suitable even for horses that have difficulty salivating. The rigid resin prevents the horse from leaning too heavily on the bit while promoting a better contact. Meanwhile, the flexible resin encourages the horse to accept the bit. A light contact from the horse on the bit will contribute to improving the horse's movement through the engagement of the hindquarters. The Pessoa/olive bit offers a lowering effect while maintaining good contact. The olive (fixed bit) provides more direct contact between the rider's hand and the horse's mouth, encouraging the horse to seek tension. It protects the corners of the mouth from any risk of pinching. The leverage action is less pronounced than with a classic Pessoa bit because the pressure is applied more directly to the horse's mouth with the olive.
