A blue-patinated Sweet Iron eggbutt snaffle bit with a single-jointed mouthpiece.

✨ Key features

  • ✔ Sweet Iron is mild steel, blued during manufacturing by heating. When exposed to moist 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.
  • ✔ Single joint. This mouthpiece puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece and works mainly on the bars and sides of the tongue. It is the standard mouthpiece.
  • ✔ Small fixed rings: stable position in the mouth and direct action. This format is used as the snaffle on a double bridle (12 mm) or as a mouthpiece for a hackamore (12 or 16 mm).

🐎 Why choose this product?

This is the mouthpiece most horses are familiar with: the one to start with, and the one to return to when you want to determine what comes from the bit and what comes from the rider's hand.

🧴 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 measuring gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it tightens the corners of the mouth. Choose the thickness according to the mouth: a thick mouthpiece distributes pressure over a larger surface, but takes up space in a shallow mouth or one with a thick tongue. ⚠️ 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.

The leather collection is made from European full-grain leather, and each model takes the anatomy of the modern horse into account.
