A baby curb bit with rotating shanks, made of mild steel with a blue patina, featuring a medium tongue port.
✨ Key features
- ✔ Sweet Iron is mild steel that is 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 more readily.
- ✔ Straight mouthpiece with a medium tongue port: more room for the tongue and less pressure at its center.
- ✔ A compact curb bit whose mouthpiece pivots on the shanks, allowing the action to build more gradually.

🧴 Usage advice
⚠️ 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 bit measuring tool, or measure the bit it currently wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it presses the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ A curb bit must always be used with a snaffle bridle and a curb chain, with two pairs of reins. ⚠️ The blue color turns silver-gray or brown-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.
