A pony Baucher bit made of blue-patina sweet iron, with a lockable lozenge mouthpiece.
✨ Key features
- ✔ Sweet Iron is a mild steel that is 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.
- ✔ Simple joint that locks as soon as it bends: under rein tension, the mouthpiece then acts like a straight mouthpiece, which strengthens its action. As soon as the tension eases, it becomes a simple joint again.
- ✔ Fixed-ring cheekpiece extended by an upper arm to which the bridle attaches. The bit remains very stable in the mouth. TRUST pony collection dimensions: thinner mouthpiece and smaller cheeks.
- ✔ Corrective mouthpiece, designed for horses that lean on the hand or run through the contact.

🐎 Why choose this product?
It gives you two bits in one: a simple joint when the hand is light, and a straight mouthpiece as soon as the horse leans on it. The horse discovers for itself that there is no benefit to pulling.
🧴 Usage advice
⚠️ 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 bit gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it currently wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it tightens 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.
