Trust E27103 Flexi Soft Straight Lifting Bit

The Trust brand straight resin gag bit provides consistent and symmetrical contact. It aids in establishing 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 with salivation problems. The rigid resin prevents the horse from leaning too heavily on the bit while promoting a better contact, while the flexible resin encourages the horse to accept the bit. A light contact between the horse and the bit helps improve its movement by encouraging hindquarter engagement. A gag bit helps collect the horse, improving or maintaining its balance. It helps raise the withers and bring the hindquarters under the horse's body. Its unique feature is the use of special cheekpieces that pass through two rings perpendicular to the bit rings. This allows it to be used with two reins, four reins, or with curb chains. The snaffle reins will have a traditional lifting effect, while the reins attached to the special cheekpieces will often have a lowering effect. It helps improve the horse's balance by bringing the horse's nose closer to the rider.
