A Beval bit made of Sweet Iron with a blue patina and a double-jointed French Link mouthpiece.
✨ Key features
- ✔ Sweet Iron is mild steel blued during manufacture by heating. 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.
- ✔ Double-jointed with a central figure-eight-shaped plate that distributes pressure evenly across the tongue. Its finer edges make the action slightly more precise than that of a standard double-jointed bit, and the plate is angled at 45° to lie flat on the tongue.
- ✔ Loose rings with two inner half-rings, creating a slight leverage effect. The bridle cheekpiece attaches to the upper half-ring, while the rein attaches to the large ring or the lower half-ring.

🐎 Why choose this product?
The figure-eight plate distributes pressure evenly across the tongue: this is the standard double-jointed design, the one to try when a single joint causes discomfort.
🧴 Usage advice
⚠️ 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 gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it wears: if too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if too narrow, it squeezes the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ 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.
