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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Mouthpiece with a ridged surface along its entire length. The ridges increase grip on the bars compared with a smooth mouthpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ A combination of a Pelham and a loose-ring elevator bit: a loose ring with two holes on each side, through which a leather strap passes. The points of contact are the chin and the poll. It can be used with one or two reins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Curbgag bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sweet Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: ridged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece thickness: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes (mm): 125 \/ 135\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ridges provide more bite than a smooth mouthpiece without going as far as a twisted mouthpiece: an intermediate option when a smooth mouthpiece is no longer enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Usage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ 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 measuring tool, or use the measurement of 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. ⚠️ Combined leverage and curb-chain action: for experienced riders only. ⚠️ 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. ⚠️ More incisive mouthpiece than a smooth one: avoid for sensitive mouths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"125","offer_id":58647356539215,"sku":"E26527L050125","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"135","offer_id":58647356571983,"sku":"E26527L050135","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-curbgag-strie","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
