BR unbroken bus bit 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 unjointed snaffle 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. An unjointed snaffle with a tongue arch ensures that the mouthpiece acts on the bars and the tongue, resulting in a sharper effect. The unjointed mouthpiece makes it impossible to give unilateral rein aids, so the mouthpiece is not suitable for riders who are not yet primarily riding with leg and seat aids. The normal tongue arch is slightly curved forward, making it harder for the horse to place its tongue over the bit.

A snaffle bit has rings that cannot rotate freely, so aids act more directly. This type of bit is generally well accepted because the mouthpiece lies relatively firmly in the mouth. The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14 mm and the bit rings have a diameter of 65 mm.
