A long combination hackamore bit made of blue-patina sweet iron, with a low tongue-relief mouthpiece.
✨ Highlights
- ✔ Sweet Iron is mild steel blued during manufacture 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 better.
- ✔ Straight mouthpiece with low tongue relief. It leaves a little more room for the tongue and distributes pressure properly across the bars.
- ✔ Combines a hackamore and a bit: pressure is distributed between the mouth, nose, and jaw. The long shanks increase leverage and therefore intensity.

🐎 Why choose this product?
A little room for the tongue without freeing up the palate: the first step toward tongue freedom when a single-jointed mouthpiece puts too much pressure in the center.
🧴 Instructions for use
⚠️ Bit size is given in millimeters: this is the width of the mouthpiece from ring to ring. A 125 measures 12.5 cm. Measure your horse's mouth with a measuring gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it wears: if too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ Significant leverage: reserved for experienced riders. Make sure the noseband rests on the bone, not on the cartilage of the nostrils. ⚠️ The blue color changes to silvery gray or brown-gray with use, and an orange film appears when the bit remains unused: this is normal Sweet Iron behavior, not a defect. A wipe with a damp cloth is enough to remove it. This oxidation is not harmful.
