A Verdun bit (D-rings) made of blue-patinated sweet iron, with a Wideport Segundo mouthpiece featuring a tongue port.
✨ 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 more readily.
- ✔ Double-jointed with a wide tongue port. Unlike other double-jointed bits, it reduces pressure on the tongue instead of increasing it.
- ✔ Two D-shaped rings that do not tip back and forth: greater stability and more direct action. The D-shape increases lateral pressure against the cheek, making steering easier.
- ✔ 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 sizer, 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 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.
