Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
The sweet iron mouthpiece is coated with a blue layer. When exposed to moisture, heat, and air, it develops a sweet-tasting surface rust that stimulates salivation and encourages acceptance of the bit. The blue coating eventually disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains. The mouthpiece consists of movable cherry rollers.

🐎 Why choose this product?
The rollers encourage the horse to play with the bit, which helps relax the horse and encourages salivation. They also make it more difficult for the horse to take hold of the bit—an advantage for a horse that leans on the bit.
🧴 Usage tips
If the bit remains unused for some time, a brown-orange layer of rust may form on the mouthpiece; a damp cloth is enough to remove it. ⚠️ Do not try to remove the surface rust with an abrasive product—it is what provides the desired taste. Measure the width from one ring to the other with the mouthpiece stretched out. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth. Allow approximately half a centimetre of visible mouthpiece on each side.
