When exposed to humid air and saliva, it develops a sweet-tasting surface oxidation that naturally stimulates salivation: the horse chews more and accepts the bit better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ The mouthpiece surface is ridged along its entire length. The ridges provide more grip on the bars than a smooth mouthpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Fixed ring fitted with two small rings for the elevator cheekpieces. The bit encourages the horse to raise its head. The fixed rings transmit the action more directly than a loose-ring elevator bit. The points of contact are the poll and the corners of the mouth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: loose-ring elevator bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sweet Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: ridged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece thickness: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes (mm): 145\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ridges provide more bite than a smooth mouthpiece without going as far as a twisted mouthpiece: an intermediate option when a smooth mouthpiece is no longer sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Use and care advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ 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 ruler, or take the measurement of the bit it wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it squeezes the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ The elevator cheekpiece replaces the usual bridle cheekpiece. Two reins allow you to adjust the action. ⚠️ The blue colour turns silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orangey 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. ⚠️ A more incisive mouthpiece than a smooth one: avoid using it on a sensitive mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"145","offer_id":58647361323343,"sku":"E27341L050145","price":149.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0029\/9177\/files\/E27341_L050_01_58785d00-0957-4419-9188-4493fe525da8.jpg?v=1788643019","url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-releveur-a-olives-strie","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
