The single-jointed olive bit from the Balotade® Rose Gold collection is a combination of functionality and aesthetics. Thanks to the stable olive construction and the natural properties of copper, this model works perfectly for sensitive and young horses that need a calm action and delicate contact with the rider’s hand.
Where does the name “olive” come from?
Olive bits get their name from the shape of the ends of the rings , which resemble the cross-section of an olive. This type of construction provides a fixed connection between the mouthpiece and the rings , which prevents pinching of the lips and increases stability in the horse’s mouth.

The permanent connection of the rings to the mouthpiece eliminates the “pinching” effect,

-
Perfect for sensitive horses and for training requiring precise action.

Check out what others say about Balotade! Here are some reviews:
The main advantage of Rose Gold bits is their hypoallergenic construction, which makes them an ideal choice for sensitive horses, minimising the risk of allergic reactions. Additionally, the elegant gold shade gives them an attractive appearance. These bits also encourage better chewing by horses, which increases comfort and improves contact between horse and rider. Thanks to these features, Rose Gold bits combine functionality with aesthetics.
Rose Gold bits obtain their characteristic colour through a process of electroplating. Electroplating is a technique that involves creating a thin, durable metal coating on the surface of another metal by depositing one metal onto another. In the case of Rose Gold bits, this coating is copper, which is a natural supplement and completely safe for horses. This process not only gives the bits an attractive appearance, but also increases their resistance to corrosion, which translates into a longer product life.
Yes, of course. Our store accepts returns of Rose Gold bits, provided that 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, Rose Gold bits are completely safe for horses. They have been carefully tested and made from materials that do not cause allergic reactions. Thanks to the use of hypoallergenic coatings and the absence of harmful dyes, these bits provide comfort and safety during use.
Yes, because the bit is coated with a layer of copper, intensive chewing by the horse can accelerate the wearing of this coating. Although copper is a durable material, it is recommended to regularly monitor the condition of the bit to minimise the effects of wear.
To prolong the durability of a Rose Gold bit, you should clean it regularly. After each use, it is worth rinsing it with water to remove food and saliva residues. It is best to use a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning, as well as a mild cleaning agent intended for metals. It is also important to protect the bit from mechanical damage, such as impacts or falls, which can lead to scratches or deformation.
If a blue or green coating appears on the bit, it means that the copper has begun to oxidise. Such a coating should be removed. The bit oxidises especially in high humidity, which is why after riding it is worth drying it thoroughly and storing it in dry conditions. Proper care can slow down the oxidation process, but will not prevent it completely.
