BR double broken snaffle Sweet Iron 14 mm

The Sweet Iron bits are known for the sweet taste of the mouthpiece. Additionally, the bits are anatomically shaped and available in many types and sizes.

??This double-jointed curb bit is made of solid stainless steel rings and a soft steel mouthpiece combined with a sweet iron coating on the mouthpiece (blue). The sweet iron coating on the mouthpiece stimulates saliva production. When this material reacts with moisture, heat, and air, it oxidizes and develops a sweet-tasting surface rust. This helps with the 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 soft and even pressure distribution. In a double-jointed bit, the mouthpiece consists of three parts, with the middle section lying flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed mouthpiece. The thicker the middle piece, the more pressure on the tongue. The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14 mm and the bit rings have a diameter of 65 mm.

??The curb straps apply pressure to the cheeks, emphasizing steering aids and preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth. These features make this bit a good choice for young horses. A curb bit can be used with curb straps, which keep the bit in the correct position and create a slight leverage effect. This type of bit lies calmly and steadily in the mouth and has a sharper action.?
