The joints are specially designed to avoid pressure against the palate and provide a comfortable fit in the horse's mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouthpiece follows the natural shape of the tongue while reducing constant pressure on the bars. Thanks to its smooth joints, Gustav is a suitable choice for horses that react excessively when the reins are taken up or struggle to maintain consistent contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe option to use the bit in two different positions allows the pressure distribution to be adjusted according to the horse's sensitivities and needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGustav is available with a mouthpiece thickness of 14 or 16 mm and has 65 mm rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Iron is a coating applied to a stainless steel mouthpiece.
