This single-cut olive bit is made from high-quality stainless steel in combination with flexible plastic. This makes the bits stable, yet particularly gentle and horse-friendly. The plastic has a hardness of 90A and is FDA-approved. This means that the material is solvent-free, contains no plasticizers and is non-toxic. The bits can be used for all horses and are particularly suitable for young horses, horses with sensitive mouths and horses that have difficulty accepting other materials. The bit has a very gentle action in the mouth. The thickness of the barrel is 18 mm and the diameter of the bit washers is 70x45 mm.
An olive bit has rings that cannot rotate freely, so the aids have a more direct action. This type of bit is generally well accepted, as the barrel is relatively fixed in the mouth.
