Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
A Pelham bit made of mild steel with a blue patina and a Cherry Roller 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.
- ✔ Single-jointed mouthpiece fitted with free-rolling rollers on each side. The rollers discourage the horse from grabbing the bit or trapping it between its teeth.
- ✔ Combined leverage shank: it acts both on the poll, behind the ears, and on the chin. It can be used with one or two reins.

🐎 Why choose this product?
The rollers occupy the mouth of a horse that tries to trap its bit between its teeth—a fault that ruins all contact.
🧴 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 bit measuring gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it wears: if too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if too narrow, it squeezes the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ With a single rein, a Pelham rounding is required between the large ring and the lower ring. A curb chain is essential. ⚠️ 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.
