Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
The innovative design of the exclusive Stübben Steeltec Golden Wings 4-in-1 Gag Bit provides a 100% pinchless safeguard for your horse while offering the ultimate versatility for the rider with four different rein-placement options for varying degrees of leverage, control and contact. Promoting gentle, yet effective bit action, this bit is Stübben's number one recommendation for inexperienced riders and horses!
The ergonomically shaped and curved center-link mouthpiece sits comfortably in the horse's mouth while the exclusive "wing" design prevents the mouthpiece from pulling through the horse's mouth as well as protecting the sides of the lips from pinching or discomfort.

Previous Feedback
Comments: Absolutely love this bit! Was exposed to it through the trainer at my barn that loves using it for her greener horses to help with direction but loves how responsive they are with it. I tried it out then eventually bought one. My horse no longer is chomping the bit, gets into frame readily, and gets nice and foamy with a soft mouth. Great and gentle gag for beginner hands like me!
