A Pelham bit made of mild steel with a blue patina and a Wideport Segundo mouthpiece with a 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.
- ✔ Double-jointed with a wide tongue port. Unlike other double-jointed bits, it reduces pressure on the tongue rather than increasing it.
- ✔ Combined leverage shank: it acts on the poll, behind the ears, and on the chin. It can be used with one or two reins.
- ✔ Used for horses that do not accept pressure on the tongue.

🧴 Usage advice
⚠️ Bit size is given in millimeters: 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 bit ruler, or measure the bit it currently 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 strap is required between the large ring and the lower ring. A curb chain is essential. ⚠️ The blue color turns silver-gray or brown-gray with use, and an orange film appears when the bit remains 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.
