Comfort, safety and unique appearance – for sensitive horses and riders who value aesthetics.
The Rainbow olive double-jointed bit from the Balotade® collection is a model that combines the stability of an olive construction with the gentle, even action of a double-jointed bit. Combined with the rainbow finish effect, it creates a unique combination of functionality and style.
Why “olive”?
Olive- type bits owe their name to the characteristic shape of the ring connections to the mouthpiece, resembling the cross-section of an olive . This type of construction provides stability and protection of the horse’s lips from pinching , while at the same time supporting a calmer and more even action of the bit in the mouth.
Olive construction – stability and protection
-
The fixed connection of the mouthpiece with the rings prevents the bit from moving,
-
It protects the horse’s lips from being pinched and ensures a calmer action in the mouth,
-
Ensures comfortable work, especially for delicate and young horses.
Double break – gentle and precise action
-
Two breaking points evenly distribute pressure on the tongue and corners of the mouth,
-
They reduce pressure on the palate, improving the acceptance of the bit,
-
They encourage the horse to chew and support calm contact with the rider’s hand.
Rainbow – aesthetics and technology
-
Each bit is unique in terms of color – no two are the same,
-
The effect is achieved thanks to PVD technology – coating steel with titanium without the use of paints,
-
The color is the result of a natural electrochemical reaction , not dyes,
-
Colorless marks on the rotating rings are a manufacturing defect – not a product defect.

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.
