The VELARI Fullcheek Gag Bit Single Jointed Sweet Iron is crafted for riders seeking a bit with both clear lateral influence and gentle poll pressure. It aids the horse in lifting the forehand and maintaining straightness, particularly beneficial for horses that tend to become heavy in the hand. The combination of fixed cheeks and gag action makes this bit a versatile tool in both schooling and training. The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes with use, promoting salivation and encouraging the horse to remain soft and accepting in the mouth. The single-jointed mouthpiece provides clear and direct contact, forming a V-shape when reins are engaged to distribute pressure over the tongue and bars.
The fullcheek arms stabilize the bit laterally, assisting in guiding the horse's shoulders and improving turns. The gag effect, activated via cheekpieces through the rings, offers a gentle lifting action through poll pressure. This is particularly useful for horses that become heavy on the forehand or when extra lightness in the hand is desired. The bit has a thickness of 16mm. Rinse with warm water after use and dry thoroughly. Over time, sweet iron develops a natural patina that enhances taste and acceptance. Store dry and regularly check the surface.
