Sweet iron bridoon: the sweet taste that encourages chewing.
This is the bridoon for double bridle use: a slim mouthpiece with small rings, fitted above the curb bit on its own headpiece. It retains the action of a bridoon while the curb bit refines the horse's outline. The double-jointed design eliminates the nutcracker effect of a single-jointed mouthpiece: the central link lies on the tongue instead of rising toward the palate. Pressure is distributed across the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth. The Ergonomic range is designed around the anatomy of the mouth: the mouthpiece tapers inward where space is limited, distributing pressure more evenly. It is made of sweet iron, a mild steel that develops a slightly sweet taste when it comes into contact with saliva: the horse chews more, salivates more, and accepts the bit better. The double-jointed models also feature a copper insert, making them even more appetizing.

🐎 Why choose this product?
Sweet iron is not just a catalog claim: it is a surface that is intentionally allowed to oxidize and develops a sweet taste when it comes into contact with saliva. A horse that finds its bit comfortable will chew, salivate, and maintain soft contact. The trade-off is intentional—this metal is softer than stainless steel and develops a patina quickly.
🧴 Care instructions
Rinse with clean water after each use and dry briefly. Do not try to remove the bluish patina or rust spots: they are intentional; this is what gives sweet iron its sweet taste. Do not use abrasive products or a dishwasher. Sweet iron is softer than stainless steel: it shows marks more quickly, without affecting its use. Check the joints for wear regularly.
Composition
Sweet iron mouthpiece (carbon and manganese steel), copper insert, stainless steel rings.
