A Sweet Iron eggbutt bridle snaffle in blue-patinated mild steel, with a low tongue-relief mouthpiece.
✨ 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 more readily.
- ✔ Straight mouthpiece with low tongue relief. It provides a little more room for the tongue and distributes pressure correctly across the bars.
- ✔ Small fixed rings: stable positioning in the mouth and direct action. This format is used as the snaffle on a bridle (12 mm) or as the mouthpiece for a hackamore (12 or 16 mm).

🐎 Why choose this product?
A little room for the tongue without lifting the bit away from the palate: the first step toward tongue freedom when a single-jointed mouthpiece applies too much pressure in the center.
🧴 Instructions for use
⚠️ A bit size is given in millimeters: 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 ruler, 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. ⚠️ The blue color changes to silver-gray or brown-gray with use, and an orange film appears when the bit is left 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.
