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.
