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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ A mouthpiece with a ridged surface along its entire length. The ridges provide more grip on the bars than a smooth mouthpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Two D-shaped rings that do not rock back and forth: greater stability and more direct action. The D shape increases lateral contact against the cheek, making steering easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Verdun bit (D-rings)\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): 125 \/ 135 \/ 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 one: an in-between option when a smooth mouthpiece is no longer enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Usage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ 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 measuring gauge, or use the measurement of the bit it wears: if it is too wide, the bit moves around and pinches; if it is too narrow, it presses on the corners of the mouth. ⚠️ The blue colour changes to silver-grey or brown-grey with use, and an orange coating 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. ⚠️ The mouthpiece is more abrasive than a smooth one: avoid it for a sensitive mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUST","offers":[{"title":"125","offer_id":58640652403023,"sku":"E25861L050125","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"135","offer_id":58640652435791,"sku":"E25861L050135","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"145","offer_id":58640652468559,"sku":"E25861L050145","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/selleriebucephale.com\/en\/products\/mors-trust-sweet-iron-verdun-anneaux-en-d-strie","provider":"Sellerie Bucéphale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
