A blue-patina Sweet Iron Curbgag bit with a Cherry Roller mouthpiece.
✨ Key features
- ✔ Sweet Iron is a mild steel that is blued during manufacturing by heating. When exposed to humid air and saliva, it develops a surface oxidation with a sweet taste that naturally stimulates salivation: the horse chews more and accepts the bit more readily.
- ✔ Single-jointed mouthpiece fitted with free-moving rollers on each side. The rollers discourage the horse from grabbing the bit or locking it between its teeth.
- ✔ A combination of a Pelham and a loose-ring gag bit: a loose ring with two holes on each side, through which a leather strap passes. The pressure points are the chin and poll. It can be used with one or two reins.

🐎 Why choose this product?
The rollers keep the mouth occupied for a horse that tries to lock the bit between its teeth—a fault that ruins all contact.
🧴 Use and care advice
⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: it is the width of the mouthpiece from one ring to the other. A 125 measures 12.5 cm. Measure your horse's mouth with a bit ruler, or measure the bit it currently wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ Combined action of leverage and curb chain: intended for experienced riders only. ⚠️ The blue colour turns silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orange film appears when the bit is left unused: this is normal Sweet Iron behaviour, not a defect. A wipe with a damp cloth is enough to remove it. This oxidation is not harmful.
