When exposed to moist 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 succession of articulated elliptical links: the barrel follows every contour and provides no fixed point of leverage. Used on heavy horses that lean on the hand and have difficulty relaxing their jaw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Two vertical cheeks on a fixed ring. These cheeks press against the side of the cheek and significantly improve steering. The ring is smaller than that of a D-ring bit, so the leverage effect is reduced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: full-cheek bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sweet Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel: Waterford with balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel 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\u003eNo fixed point of leverage: the heavy horse has nothing to lean against. Reserve it for steady hands, as its mobility does not forgive an unsteady hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Instructions for use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: it is the width of the barrel from one ring to the other. A 125 measures 12.5 cm. Measure your horse's mouth with a measuring gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it wears: too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ The high cheeks are attached 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. ⚠️ Very mobile barrel, reserved for experienced, steady hands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"115","offer_id":58640655581519,"sku":"E25493L050115","price":139.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"125","offer_id":58640655614287,"sku":"E25493L050125","price":139.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"135","offer_id":58640655647055,"sku":"E25493L050135","price":139.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"145","offer_id":58640655679823,"sku":"E25493L050145","price":139.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/E25493_L050_01_e4c99c32-3420-4205-bc2e-eea77e7695fe.jpg?v=1788473568","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-a-aiguilles-waterford-a-billes","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
