A blue-patinated sweet iron eggbutt bridoon with a Cherry Roller barrel.
✨ 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 better.
- ✔ Single-jointed barrel fitted with free-moving rollers on each side. The rollers discourage the horse from grabbing the bit or locking it between its teeth.
- ✔ Small fixed rings: a stable position in the mouth and direct action. This design is used as a bridoon on a double bridle (12 mm) or as a barrel for a hackamore (12 or 16 mm).

🐎 Why choose this product?
The rollers occupy the mouth of a horse that tries to lock its bit between its teeth—a habit that ruins all contact.
🧴 Instructions for use
⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: it is the width of the barrel from one ring to the other. A 125 measures 12.5 cm. Measure your horse's mouth with a bit 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. ⚠️ 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.
