Trust Sweet Iron 2½ Ring Elliptical - 16mm

Sweet Iron

• Sweet Iron bits are made of blue steel and release a sweet-tasting surface rust through contact with saliva, which stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This sweet surface rust will cause the horse to foam more and accept the bit better.
• When a Sweet Iron bit is temporarily not used, an orange-brown rust layer can form on the mouthpiece. This can be easily removed by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.

2½ & 3 Ring Bit:

• A 2½ & 3 Ring Snaffle is also called a Pessoa bit and can be recognized by the extra rings on top and at the bottom of the regular bit rings.
• The top ring is used to attach the cheekpiece and the bottom ring the rein.
• When using the rein, the top ring will tilt forward and create leverage.
• The strength of the impact is determined by the type of mouthpiece, material and number of rings.
• A 2½ ring snaffle is therefore less effective than a 3 ring snaffle.

Double Jointed, Elliptical

• The double Jointed mouthpiece consists of 3 parts.
• The middle part of this mouthpiece lies flat on the tongue and will put more pressure on the tongue than a single jointed mouthpiece.
• The thicker the middle part, the more pressure on the tongue.
