Registered Design

NOTE: Gustav can be used in two ways: Either with tongue relief or with bar relief.

For tongue relief – If you would describe your horse as the following:

Inconsistent in the contact.

Pulls away or up when you take up the kidneys.

Attempts to put their tongue over the bit.

Fussy-mouthed.

For bar relief- Turn the bit upside down.

If you would describe your horse as the following:

Inconsistent in the contact.

Stiff or stiff to ride.

Bites on the bit, attempts to pull it back.

Doesn't seek the contact towards the bit.

Drops the contact.

Falls behind the hand.

Gustav is constructed with a 100% super smooth surface, even around the joints which are designed to never interfere with or push against the palate. It is a very comfortable bit that shapes naturally around the tongue and relieves the bars from constant pressure.

Gustav is an ideal design for sensitive mouthed horses whose mouths easily develop cuts, sores or rubs.

Sweet iron: The Sweet iron alloy oxidizes on contact with the humidity of the mouth and the air.

Oxidation brings a sweet taste which naturally stimulates the production of saliva. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar that is given to the horse at the start of the session but allows this sweet taste to be diffused throughout the work.

Consequently, this alloy allows good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse make contact with its mouthpiece.

Oxidation changes the appearance of the bit as the sessions progress.
