Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
The mouthpiece is made of mild steel coated with a blue layer (“sweet iron”). When exposed to moisture, heat, and air, it develops a sweet-tasting surface rust that stimulates salivation and encourages acceptance of the bit. The blue coating eventually disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains. The mouthpiece consists of movable cherry rollers: the horse grasps and plays with them, which encourages relaxation of the jaws and salivation.

🐎 Why choose this product?
The rollers encourage the horse to play with the bit, which relaxes the horse and promotes salivation. They also make it more difficult for the horse to take hold of the bit: this can be beneficial for a horse that leans on the bit.
🧴 Instructions for use
If the bit remains unused for some time, a brown-orange layer of rust may form on the mouthpiece: a damp cloth is sufficient to remove it. ⚠️ Do not try to remove the surface rust with an abrasive product—it is what provides the desired taste. Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece stretched out. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth. Allow approximately half a centimetre of visible mouthpiece on each side.
