Description

Precise response and increased control — in a light, effective form. The single-jointed Ophaal Bustrens bit (Dutch gag) from the Balotade® collection is the perfect solution for strong horses, those that fall onto the forehand or those that require greater responsiveness. Thanks to its construction, it allows for a more subtle yet decisive action, helping to achieve better head carriage and a better response to the rider’s aids.

Hollow construction — lightness and comfort

  • The hollow mouthpiece reduces the weight of the bit,
  • Lighter action favours acceptance in sensitive or unsure horses,
  • Ideal for hacking, intensive training and behavioural corrections.

Dutch gag — variable action

  • The option to attach the rein at different points — adjustable action strength,
  • Using a second rein allows for greater precision and faster reactions,
  • The bit works by lightly raising in the mouth — helps to improve head carriage and balance,
  • Recommended for intermediate and experienced riders.

Single Joint — classic response

  • Direct but non-aggressive action on the tongue and corners of the mouth,
  • Helps achieve a quick response to hand aids,
  • Works well with horses that respond well to contact.

Materials and finish

  • Stainless steel — durable, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean,
  • Suitable for everyday use as well as competition.

Technical parameters

  • Mouthpiece thickness: 18 mm,
  • Hollow bit — light, functional, sitting stably in the mouth.

Choose the single-jointed hollow Ophaal Bustrens Balotade® — for greater control and effective action in a modern, comfortable form.

I stumbled upon Balotade somewhat by accident, but I immediately fell in love. No other bridle has fit my Polish horse this well (due to her long, narrow head), but we finally succeeded with the Balotade bridle. This is my first bridle from this company, and I suspect it won't be my last.

P.S. You can expand your offerings to include the shetty size 🦄

Fantastic! I keep ordering for my horses from Balotade. Fast order processing and shipping, and great communication with the store staff. They're always running discounts and promotions. The products are of excellent quality.
I fell in love with the anatomical bridles and blue steel bits at first sight.
I wholeheartedly recommend this store.
I'm posting a photo of my horse wearing the anatomical bridle from Balotade 🤩
Frequently Asked Questions
Are stainless steel bits hollow or solid inside?

Most of our steel bits are hollow inside. This construction makes them lighter and more comfortable for horses to use. If a specific bit has a different construction (e.g. solid inside), this information will be included in the product description. It is always worth reading the description before purchasing to be sure of the specifications of the model.

How are stainless steel bits made?

Stainless steel bits are manufactured from high-quality steel, which is characterized by corrosion resistance and durability. The process begins with forming the steel into the appropriate shapes, which includes cutting, bending and welding the parts. The bits are then subjected to surface treatments, such as polishing, to enhance their aesthetics and functionality. Each bit undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure safety and comfort for horses.

How to care for a stainless steel bit to extend its life?

To extend the life of your stainless steel bit, clean it regularly. After each use, rinse it with water to remove any food or saliva residue. You can use a soft sponge or cloth to clean it, and if necessary, a mild metal cleaner. In addition, protect the bit from mechanical damage, such as impacts or falls, which can cause scratches or deformation.

Are stainless steel bits resistant to rust and corrosion?

Yes, stainless steel bits are resistant to rust and corrosion due to the properties of the material. Stainless steel contains chromium, which forms a thin layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the metal, protecting it from moisture and other atmospheric agents. Although stainless steel is much more resistant to rust than traditional carbon steel, it is still important to clean and maintain it regularly to ensure long-term protection.

Can a stainless steel bit be returned?

Yes, of course. We accept returns of stainless steel bits in our shop, 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 changed your mind, you can send it back according to our returns policy.
