Classic and custom for discerning equestrians
The Stübben STEELtec Golden Wings Bit is a remarkable innovation in equestrian equipment, designed with the comfort and safety of the horse in mind. This bit is touted as being 100% pinchless, ensuring that the horse's mouth is free from any unnecessary pressure or discomfort. The unique wing design serves a dual purpose: it positions the bit correctly in the horse's mouth regardless of the head position and also acts as a safeguard against the bit pinching the horse's mouth.
The cheek plates are another thoughtful feature, providing an indirect rein effect that helps correct resistance to the direct rein. This can be particularly useful for training purposes or for horses that tend to be more headstrong. The versatility of the Golden Wings Bit is evident in its ability to function as a loose ring or a mild gag, offering riders the flexibility to adjust the bit according to the needs of the horse and the specifics of the riding discipline.
When set up as a gag, the bit amplifies the impact of the rein aids on the mouth and poll, which can be beneficial for riders needing more control. The Sweet Copper material used in the bit encourages better acceptance by the horse, as it promotes the natural production of saliva, which in turn helps with bit acceptance and relaxation.
The double break design of the bit eliminates the nutcracker effect and palate pressure, which are common issues with traditional bits. This design ensures a more even and gentle distribution of pressure across the horse's mouth.
Available in various sizes, the Stübben STEELtec Golden Wings Bit caters to a range of horses, with numerous sizes not listed available upon request to ensure a perfect fit. It's important to note that while this bit is approved for certain equestrian events, it is not approved for USEF/FEI Dressage, so riders should confirm the correctness of their tack with the appropriate steward or technical delegate.
In conclusion, the Stübben STEELtec Golden Wings Bit represents a significant advancement in horse tack, prioritizing the well-being of the horse while providing riders with a tool that is both effective and versatile. Its innovative design and thoughtful features make it a valuable addition to any rider's equipment, promising a more harmonious and responsive riding experience.
