BR Equitation Single bit for curved horses Sweet Iron

This single ring bit features solid stainless steel washers and a soft iron mouthpiece with a coating (" sweet iron ") (blue). The soft iron coating on the mouthpiece will stimulate salivation. When this material reacts with moisture, heat and air in an oxidation process, the surface rust has a sweet taste. This promotes acceptance of the bit. Eventually the blue color disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains.

The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a smooth, even pressure distribution. The canon of a single-break bit tips on a point. It works on the tongue, bars, corners of the mouth and sometimes on the palate of the horse. If the reins are used, the bit takes on a V shape. As this canon has only one point joint, the tongue is freer than with, for example, a canon double snaffle. canon thickness 14 mm. Rings 65 mm.

A ring bit is a bit with separate bit washers. This type of bit is generally well accepted, as the canon is relatively loose in the mouth.
