Trust Sweet Iron D-Bit Brass Ring - 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.

D-Snaffle Bit

• As the name implies, the side pieces of a D-snaffle have the shape of a D and therefore cannot be easily pulled through the mouth.
• Because of this D shape, more pressure is obtained on the horse's cheeks, which makes maneuverability easier.
• This makes the D-snaffle a nice bit for teaching young horses.
• Depending on the type, thickness and material, a D-bit gets a sharper or softer effect.

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.

Brass Rings

• The center piece of this bit features brass rings that encourage the horse to play with the bit, increasing the tongue activity.
• The horse will produce more saliva and will relax the jaws better.
