A fixed-shank baby curb bit made of mild steel with a blue patina, featuring a medium tongue-relief port.
✨ Key features
- ✔ Sweet Iron is mild steel blued during manufacturing 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 better.
- ✔ Straight mouthpiece with a medium tongue-relief port: more room for the tongue and less pressure on its center.
- ✔ Compact curb bit with fixed shanks: the mouthpiece does not pivot, so the action is direct.

🧴 Care and use instructions
⚠️ Bit size is given in millimeters: 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 measuring gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it currently wears: if too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ A curb bit must always be used with a snaffle bridle and curb chain, with two pairs of reins. ⚠️ The blue color turns silver-gray or brownish gray with use, and an orange-colored film appears when the bit remains unused: this is normal Sweet Iron behavior, not a defect. A wipe with a damp cloth is enough to remove it. This oxidation is not harmful.
