Light leverage and extra stability – the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Gag Jointed combines subtle control with natural saliva stimulation and a calm position in the mouth. Perfect for sport horses that need that little bit of extra support without sharp impact.
Sweet Iron material: Oxidizes with use and develops a sweetish taste, which stimulates saliva production and improves bit acceptance.
Jointed mouthpiece: Provides soft, direct pressure distribution across tongue and layers without the squeezing effect of traditional ankle-jointed bits.
Eggbutt side pieces: The fixed connections provide extra stability in the mouth, making the bit move less and the action calmer and more consistent.
Gag action: By using gag ropes, the rider can create light leverage for more upright and control – ideal for horses that are getting a little stronger or need extra balance.
Versatile application: Suitable for jumping, eventing, cross-country and training where extra control is required without putting excessive strain on the mouth.
