BR Double Jointed Full Sheek Snaffle Sweet Iron 14 mm

Sweet Iron bits are known for the sweet taste of the mouth piece. Besides, the bits are anatomically shaped and available in many shapes and sizes.

This double jointed full sheek snaffle is made of solid stainless steel combined with a layer of sweet iron on the mouthpiece (blue). The sweet iron stimulates the chewing process and saliva formation. When this material reacts with moisture, warmth and air in a process called oxidation, the surface rust tastes sweet. As a result, the horse will be more willing to accept the bit. The blue colour disappears eventually, but the taste of the surface rust remains.

The anatomical design of the bit follows the shape of the horse’s mouth, which allows for a gentle and even pressure distribution. The double jointed bit consists of three parts. The middle section of the mouthpiece lies flat on the tongue, causing more pressure on the tongue than a single jointed bit would. The thicker the middle section, the more pressure it will create on the tongue. Mouthpiece thickness 14 mm, ring size 65 mm.

The main purpose of a full cheek bit is to exert lateral pressure, this emphasis on the turning aids is especially useful for young horses. The arms prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth and ensure stability of the bit.
