The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Waterford Gag Bit combines control, flexibility, and comfort, making it ideal for young or spirited horses that need additional guidance. The full cheek design features two transverse bars, which provide added pressure on the horse’s cheeks, helping with lateral control and making the bit more stable in the mouth. These bars are slightly bent outward to prevent contact with the sides of the horse’s head, ensuring a comfortable fit.
The Waterford mouthpiece consists of rounded links that mold to the horse’s mouth, distributing pressure evenly and discouraging the horse from leaning or grabbing onto the bit. Made from Sweet Iron, this bit naturally oxidizes upon exposure to moisture, producing a sweet taste that stimulates saliva production and promotes bit acceptance. Over time, the Sweet Iron will develop a classic brown-gray patina as part of its natural oxidation.
