{"product_id":"mors-olive-ergonomic-sweet-iron-14-mm-simple-brisure","title":"Ergonomic sweet iron eggbutt snaffle, 14 mm, single-jointed","description":"\u003cp\u003eSweet iron eggbutt bit: the sweet taste that encourages chewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eggbutt cheeks are fixed: the mouthpiece does not swivel or pinch the corners of the mouth. The bit stays stable in the horse’s mouth, which reassures young or sensitive horses and makes the contact clearer. The single-jointed mouthpiece acts on the bars and corners of the mouth, with a slight pinching effect on the palate when both reins are used together. It is the most widely used type of bit, one that most horses are already familiar with. 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 on contact with saliva: the horse chews more, salivates more, and accepts the bit more readily. The double-jointed versions also feature a copper insert, making them even more appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✨ Key benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ single-jointed mouthpiece, 14 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ fixed eggbutt cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ eggbutt cheek diameter: 6.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ sweet iron mouthpiece: sweet taste, increased salivation and chewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ mouthpiece tapered inward for better pressure distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ stainless steel cheeks, with no free nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ very high corrosion resistance\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 eggbutt bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-jointed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEggbutt cheek diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece material:\u003c\/strong\u003e sweet iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheeks:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet iron is not merely a catalogue claim: it is a surface designed to oxidize and develop a sweet taste on contact with saliva. A horse that finds its bit pleasant will chew, salivate, and maintain a 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 roughly. \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.
