NOTE: Gustav can be used in two ways: Either with tongue relief or with bar relief.
For tongue relief – If you would describe your horse as the following:
- Inconsistent in the contact.
- Pulls away or up when you take up the reins.
- Attempts to put their tongue over the bit.
- Fussy mouthed.
For bar relief- Turn the bit upside down.
If you would describe your horse as the following:
- Inconsistent in the contact.
- Stiff or rigid to ride.
- Bites on the bit, attempts to pull it back.
- Doesn’t seek the contact towards the bit.
- Drops the contact.
- Falls behind the hand.
Gustav is constructed with a 100% super smooth surface, even around the joints which are designed to never interfere with or push against the palate. It is a very comfortable bit that shapes naturally around the tongue and relieves the bars from constant pressure.
Gustav is an ideal design for sensitive mouthed horses whose mouths easily develop cuts, sores or rubs.
Other important information:Â
- Sweet iron is meant to rust. Most horses love the taste it gives.Â
- When you receive your bit it has protection oil to prevent it from rusting before being used. It might make the bit look a bit filthy as first sight. The oil can be cleaned with a simple towel/paper before the first use left as is. The oil is completely harmless for the horse. Â
- If you want to delay the rusting process, wipe the bit dry after every use. Â
- Do you think your bit has become is too rusty after many uses? Put the sweet iron in Coca Cola and the rust will disappear. It is the fosfor in Coca Cola that makes the rust dissolve. Please be careful using any other strong chemicals with fosfor in it! Coca Cola works fine, we promise. Â
Note that the blue color of the sweet iron will go away or fade when you choose to do this as well with the rust.Â
The Fager Horse Logo should always be on the right side of your horse with the logo horse pointing upwards.
