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 better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ A series of articulated elliptical links: the barrel follows every contour and provides no fixed point of leverage. Used on horses that are heavy in the hand and have difficulty relaxing their jaw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ The rings slide freely along the barrel. The action of the hand is therefore less direct than with fixed-ring snaffles: the bit moves, so the horse cannot lean against a fixed point of leverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: loose-ring snaffle\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\u003eThere is no fixed point of leverage, so a strong horse cannot find anything to lean against. Reserve it for confident hands, as its mobility leaves no room for 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 bit ruler, or measure the bit it currently wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ Fit rubber bit guards: pinching occurs between the movable ring and the barrel. ⚠️ The blue colour turns silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orange film appears when the bit is left 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; reserve for experienced, steady hands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"115","offer_id":58640486105423,"sku":"E28097L050115","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"125","offer_id":58640486138191,"sku":"E28097L050125","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"135","offer_id":58640486170959,"sku":"E28097L050135","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"145","offer_id":58640486203727,"sku":"E28097L050145","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/E28097_L050_01_ca5b9c18-f712-48e4-93c9-e5c620bc1e27.jpg?v=1788471840","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-a-anneaux-libres-waterford-a-billes","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
