Control, response, power in a lightweight form and rainbow elegance — for riders who expect more. The Ophaal Bustrens Rainbow bit (also known as the “Dutch gag”) is a solution designed for horses that are difficult to ride — those that hang on the rider’s hand, are strong, fall onto the forehand or need better head carriage. The unique Rainbow effect makes it not only a practical piece of equipment but also visually striking.
Action of the Ophaal Bustrens — for advanced riders
- The option to attach a second rein increases the range of action,
- Raises the bit in the mouth, improving head carriage,
- Allows you to quickly regain control of your horse,
- Due to its strong action, recommended for experienced riders.
Double Joint — Greater Subtlety
- The two joints distribute pressure more evenly,
- They reduce pressure on the palate, increasing comfort,
- They encourage the horse to chew and relax.
Rainbow — striking technology with no compromise
- Each bit is a colour-unique piece — no two examples are identical,
- The Rainbow effect is achieved in the PVD process — a high-temperature titanium coating on steel,
- No paints or dyes are used — the colours are formed naturally in an electrochemical reaction,
- Colourless marks at the rotating rings are part of the production process, not a product defect.
Hypoallergenic and durable
- Made entirely of high-quality stainless steel with a titanium coating,
- Hypoallergenic properties — ideal for horses prone to skin irritation.
Technical parameters
- Mouthpiece thickness: 18 mm,
- Solid bit.

The main advantage of Rainbow bits is their hypoallergenic construction, which makes them an ideal choice for sensitive horses. Thanks to the use of materials that minimize the risk of allergic reactions, these bits are safe and comfortable to use. Additionally, each Rainbow bit is distinguished by a unique color variant, which not only attracts attention, but also makes each piece unique. The rainbow colors give them an aesthetic appearance, which can be attractive to riders looking for both functionality and style.
Rainbow bits, or colorful horse bits, are manufactured primarily using titanium alloys and stainless steel. Their manufacturing process involves several key steps.
First, the materials are formed into the right shapes and then surface treated. The method we use is physical vapor deposition (PVD), which creates a thin layer of titanium on the surface, giving it rainbow colors.
Finally, each piece undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets safety and durability standards. These processes ensure that Rainbow bits are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also comfortable and safe for sensitive horses.
Yes, of course. Our store accepts returns of Rainbow bits, provided the product has not been used. You have the option to return the bit within 30 days of purchase. If the bit does not meet your expectations or you simply change your mind, you can return it according to our returns policy.
Yes, Rainbow bits are safe for horses thanks to their hypoallergenic properties and the absence of harmful dyes. Each one undergoes rigorous quality checks before being released to the market. This ensures that they will not cause allergic reactions or other health problems in horses.
Yes, the color of the Rainbow coating may change slightly over time during use. Because it is a titanium coating, it may wear off or fade with heavy use. Therefore, it is recommended to properly care for and clean the bit after each use to maintain its aesthetic appearance and prolong the durability of the color.
To extend the life of your Rainow bit, you should clean it regularly. After each use, it is a good idea to rinse it with water to remove any food or saliva residue. You can use a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning, and if necessary, a mild metal cleaner. In addition, you should protect the bit from mechanical damage, such as impacts or falls, which can cause scratches or deformation.
Each Rainbow bit is different due to the Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) process that gives it its rainbow color. The resulting color pattern varies depending on how the gas settles on the surface of the bit. This makes each bit unique and has its own individual character, which adds to its appeal and ensures that every rider can find something special for their horse.
