Its shanks and curb chain create leverage that refines the horse’s head carriage — reserved for a horse that is already balanced and a light hand. The tongue relief, recessed into the center of the mouthpiece, frees the tongue and transfers pressure onto the bars. It is chosen for a horse that tries to put its tongue over the bit or lacks room in its 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 \u003cem\u003esweet iron\u003c\/em\u003e, a mild steel that develops a slightly sweet taste when it comes into contact with saliva: the horse chews more, foams more, and accepts the bit more readily. The double-jointed versions also feature a copper insert, making them even more palatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✨ Key features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ tongue-relief mouthpiece, 14 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ shank length: 13.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ sweet iron mouthpiece: sweet taste, salivation, and chewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ mouthpiece tapered inward for better pressure distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ stainless steel shanks, with no free nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ very high corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ curb chain included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e curb bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e tongue-relief mouthpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece material:\u003c\/strong\u003e sweet iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShanks:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e curb chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet iron is not just a catalogue claim: it is a surface that is deliberately allowed to oxidize and develops a sweet taste when it comes into contact with saliva. A horse that finds its bit pleasant will chew, foam, and maintain soft contact. The trade-off is intentional — this metal is softer than stainless steel and develops a patina quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Care instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse with clean water after each use and dry briefly. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not try to remove the bluish patina or rust spots: they are intentional\u003c\/strong\u003e; 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 marks more quickly, without affecting its use.
