When exposed to humid air and saliva, it develops a sweet-tasting surface oxidation that naturally stimulates salivation: the horse chews more and accepts the bit more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ The mouthpiece has a grooved surface along its entire length. The grooves provide more grip on the bars than a smooth mouthpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Small fixed rings: stable positioning in the mouth and direct action. This size is used as a bridle bit (12 mm) or as a hackamore mouthpiece (12 or 16 mm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: loose-ring bridle bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sweet Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: grooved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece thickness: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes (mm): 145\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grooves 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🧴 Directions for use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ Bit size is given in millimetres: 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 measure the bit it currently wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it squeezes the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ The blue colour turns silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orange film appears when the bit is left 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 mouthpiece is sharper than a smooth one: avoid using it on a sensitive mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"145","offer_id":58647448813903,"sku":"E25643L050145","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-filet-de-bride-a-olives-strie","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
