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 more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ A single joint that locks as soon as it bends: under rein tension, the mouthpiece then acts like a straight bar, which intensifies its action. As soon as the tension eases, it becomes a single-jointed mouthpiece again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Two vertical cheeks on a fixed ring. These cheeks press against the side of the horse's cheek and significantly assist with steering. The ring is smaller than that of a D-ring bit, so the leverage effect is reduced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Corrective mouthpiece, designed for horses that lean on the hand or run through the contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: full-cheek snaffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sweet Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: locking joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece thickness: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes (mm): 115 \/ 125 \/ 135 \/ 145\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt gives you two bits in one: a single-jointed mouthpiece when the hand is light, and a straight bar as soon as the horse leans on it. The horse discovers for itself that pulling is not worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Usage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: it is the width of the mouthpiece from one ring to the other. A 125 measures 12.5 cm. Measure your horse's mouth with a bit measuring tool, or use the measurement of the bit it currently wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it squeezes the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ The upper cheeks are secured to the bridle with keepers to prevent them from tipping forward. ⚠️ The blue colour changes to 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"115","offer_id":58640654500175,"sku":"E25487L050115","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"125","offer_id":58640654532943,"sku":"E25487L050125","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"135","offer_id":58640654565711,"sku":"E25487L050135","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"145","offer_id":58640654598479,"sku":"E25487L050145","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/E25487_L050_01_a3360382-db77-4ec2-bf27-36e125e191fb.jpg?v=1788473534","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-a-aiguilles-a-brisure-verrouillee","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
