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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Double-jointed mouthpiece with a figure-eight-shaped central plate that distributes pressure evenly across the tongue. Its finer edges make the action slightly more direct than that of a standard double-jointed mouthpiece, and the plate is angled at 45° so it lies flat on the tongue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Combines a hackamore and a bit: pressure is distributed between the mouth and the nose.

A 125 measures 12.5 cm. Measure your horse's mouth with a bit ruler, or measure the bit it wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it presses into the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ The hackamore acts on the nasal bone: make sure the noseband rests on the bone, not on the nasal cartilage. ⚠️ The blue colour changes to silver-grey or brownish 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"115","offer_id":58647468900687,"sku":"E25756L050115","price":279.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"125","offer_id":58647468933455,"sku":"E25756L050125","price":279.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"135","offer_id":58647468966223,"sku":"E25756L050135","price":279.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"145","offer_id":58647468998991,"sku":"E25756L050145","price":279.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/E25756_L050_01_cf346140-b001-48f8-8b93-c22fabd39266.jpg?v=1788710575","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-hackamore-combine-court-double-brisure-french-link","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
