When exposed to humid air and saliva, it develops a sweet-tasting surface oxidation that naturally stimulates salivation: the horse chews more and accepts the bit better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ A single-jointed mouthpiece that locks as soon as it bends: under rein tension, the mouthpiece then acts like a straight mouthpiece, which enhances its action. As soon as the tension eases, it becomes a single-jointed mouthpiece again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ The rings slide freely through the mouthpiece. The hand's action is therefore less direct than with fixed-ring bits: the bit moves, so the horse cannot lean against a fixed point of contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Corrective mouthpiece, designed for horses that lean on the hand or run through the bit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: loose-ring bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sweet Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: locking jointed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece thicknesses: 12 mm \/ 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 mouthpiece as soon as the horse leans on it. The horse discovers for itself that it is better not to pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Usage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: this 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 wears: too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. Choose the thickness according to the mouth: a thick mouthpiece distributes pressure over a larger surface, but takes up too much room in a shallow mouth or with a thick tongue. ⚠️ Fit rubber bit guards: it is between the moving ring and the mouthpiece that the corner of the mouth gets pinched. ⚠️ The blue colour turns 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 \/ 12 mm","offer_id":58640484729167,"sku":"E28091L050115","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"115 \/ 16 mm","offer_id":58640484761935,"sku":"E28092L050115","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ 12 mm","offer_id":58640484794703,"sku":"E28091L050125","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ 16 mm","offer_id":58640484827471,"sku":"E28092L050125","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"135 \/ 12 mm","offer_id":58640484860239,"sku":"E28091L050135","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"135 \/ 16 mm","offer_id":58640484893007,"sku":"E28092L050135","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"145 \/ 12 mm","offer_id":58640484925775,"sku":"E28091L050145","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"145 \/ 16 mm","offer_id":58640484958543,"sku":"E28092L050145","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/E28091_L050_01_75c57556-82d8-46bc-8d65-2d277a45f63b.jpg?v=1788471836","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-a-anneaux-libres-a-brisure-verrouillee","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
