A two-slot Liverpool bit with fixed cheeks, made of blue-patinated mild steel, featuring a medium tongue port.
✨ 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 better.
- ✔ Straight mouthpiece with a medium tongue port: more room for the tongue and less pressure on its center.
- ✔ Driving bit with two adjustment slots: the rein is placed in one or the other depending on the desired intensity, with the lower slot providing the strongest leverage. The cheeks are fixed, so the action is direct.

🧴 Care and use
⚠️ 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 bit ruler, or measure the bit it currently wears: too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; too narrow, it squeezes the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ Driving bit: adjust both sides to the same slot, otherwise the carriage will pull unevenly. A curb chain is essential. ⚠️ The blue colour changes to silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orange film appears when the bit is left unused: this is normal for Sweet Iron, not a defect. A wipe with a damp cloth is enough to remove it. This oxidation is not harmful.
