Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Eliptical Bit
The Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Eliptical Bit is similar to an elevator bit but applies pressure differently. Instead of acting behind the ears, it works on the lower jaw and chin. The cord runs under the chin, while the cheekpieces attach to the upper ring, allowing for effective control. This bit is ideal for strong, hot horses and is commonly used by showjumpers. It is not suitable for inexperienced riders.
The double-jointed mouthpiece has two hinge points, following the natural shape of the horse’s mouth. It distributes pressure evenly across the tongue, bars, and corners, making it more comfortable than a single-jointed bit. However, for horses with narrow jaws, the hinge points may press on the bars and cause discomfort. The adjustable rein attachment allows for varying intensity, directing pressure to the lower jaw and chin instead of the poll.
