TRUST Sweet Iron twisted eggbutt bridoon snaffle bit with a locked joint

A Sweet Iron full-cheek snaffle bit with loose-ring guards, a blue-patinated mild steel mouthpiece, and a twisted, locking joint.

✨ Key features

• ✔ Sweet Iron is mild steel, 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.
• ✔ A single twisted joint that locks when it bends: under tension, the mouthpiece acts like a straight bar, then becomes a single-jointed mouthpiece again as soon as the rider softens the contact. The twist adds edges, creating a more incisive action.
• ✔ Small fixed rings: stable positioning in the mouth and direct action. This format is used as a snaffle on a bridle (12 mm) or as a mouthpiece for a hackamore (12 or 16 mm).

🧴 Instructions for use

⚠️ A 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 use the measurement of the bit it wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it presses on the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ The blue colour turns silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orange film appears when the bit remains 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. ⚠️ Corrective mouthpiece for horses that lean on the bit or run through the contact. Not suitable for sensitive horses or inexperienced riders.
