BR Equestrian Equipment Olive bit for single horse

This simple broken olive bit features solid stainless steel rings and a mouthpiece made of sweet iron with a blue coating. The sweet iron coating on the mouthpiece stimulates saliva production. When this material reacts with moisture, heat, and air in an oxidation process, the surface rust has a sweet taste, which enhances the acceptance of the bit. Eventually, the blue color fades, but the taste of the surface rust remains.

The anatomical design adapts to the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a gentle and even distribution of pressure. The canon of a simple broken bit tilts at a single point. It affects the tongue, the bars, the corners of the mouth, and sometimes even the palate of the horse. When the reins are used, the bit takes on a V-shape. Since this canon has only a single joint, the tongue has more freedom compared to, for example, a double broken canon. The thickness of the canon is 14 mm, and the rings have a diameter of 65 mm.

An olive bit has rings that cannot rotate freely, resulting in a more direct effect of the aids. This type of bit is generally well accepted, as the canon sits relatively firmly in the mouth.
