A baby curb bit with rotating shanks, made of blue-patinated Sweet Iron, with a straight mouthpiece featuring a low tongue port.
✨ 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 sweet-tasting surface oxidation that naturally stimulates salivation: the horse chews more and accepts the bit more readily.
- ✔ Straight mouthpiece with a low tongue port. It provides the tongue with a little more room and distributes pressure correctly across the bars.
- ✔ A compact curb bit whose mouthpiece pivots on the shanks, allowing the action to engage more progressively.

🐎 Why choose this product?
A little room for the tongue without lifting the bit away from the palate: the first step toward greater tongue freedom when a simple joint presses too much in the center.
🧴 How to use
⚠️ Bit size is given in millimeters: 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 measuring stick, or measure the bit it currently wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it squeezes the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ A curb bit must always be used with a snaffle bridle and a curb chain, with two pairs of reins. ⚠️ The blue color turns silver-gray or brownish-gray with use, and an orange film appears when the bit remains unused: this is the normal behavior of Sweet Iron, not a defect. A wipe with a damp cloth is enough to remove it. This oxidation is not harmful.
