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 succession of articulated elliptical links: the barrel conforms to every shape 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✔ A milder version of the three-ring (Pessoa): leverage is present, and becomes more pronounced the lower the rein is attached. As the rings are fixed, the bit moves less in the mouth than a 2.5-ring bit with loose rings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2.5-ring loose-ring snaffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sweet Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel: ball-link Waterford\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 leaves no room for a moving hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Usage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: this 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 currently wears: too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ Leverage acts on the poll: use it with a light hand and check the cheekpiece adjustment. ⚠️ 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. ⚠️ Very mobile barrel; reserve for experienced, steady hands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"115","offer_id":58640640049487,"sku":"E26927L050115","price":149.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"125","offer_id":58640640082255,"sku":"E26927L050125","price":149.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"135","offer_id":58640640115023,"sku":"E26927L050135","price":149.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"145","offer_id":58640640147791,"sku":"E26927L050145","price":149.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/E26927_L050_01_9f0ab6cd-345a-4bcf-9a4d-2eb37958bcf4.jpg?v=1788472845","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-a-olives-2-5-anneaux-waterford-a-billes","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
