Centaur® Blue Steel Full Cheek Gag Bit – Enhanced Communication, Salivation & Lateral Control
The Centaur® Blue Steel Full Cheek Gag Bit is designed for riders who want clearer communication, improved lateral control, and better bit acceptance from their horses. Combining innovative Blue Steel technology with a classic full cheek gag design, this bit supports both performance and comfort in training and the show ring.
Crafted from an advanced version of traditional Sweet Iron, Blue Steel oxidizes more rapidly than standard Black Steel. This controlled oxidation creates a light surface rust that tastes naturally sweet, encouraging increased salivation and a softer, more relaxed mouth. Horses often accept Blue Steel bits more readily, resulting in a more consistent connection and improved rideability.
The full cheek design helps prevent the bit from sliding through the mouth and offers excellent lateral guidance, making it especially useful for young, green, or more sensitive horses that benefit from clear turning aids. The gag action allows the rider to add lift and control when needed, helping rebalance horses that get heavy, strong, or low in front.
Ideal for experienced riders, the Centaur® Blue Steel Full Cheek Gag Bit blends modern materials with thoughtful design to deliver responsive performance and enhanced comfort on every ride.
