Sweet Iron bits are made of blue steel and release a sweet-tasting surface rust through contact with saliva, which stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This sweet surface rust will cause the horse to foam more and accept the bit better.
When a Sweet Iron bit is temporarily not used, an orange-brown rust layer can form on the mouthpiece. This can be easily removed by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.
Loose Ring
A loose ring snaffle is a basic bit with loose movable bit rings and is therefore quite loose in the mouth.
Depending on the type, thickness and material, a loose ring snaffle gets a sharper or softer effect.
It is important that the loose ring is not too narrow, otherwise a skin from the corners of the mouth can get in between.
If your horse does have problems with this, you can use rubber bit rings if necessary.
A loose ring snaffle is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.
Double Jointed, Elliptical
The double Jointed mouthpiece consists of 3 parts.
The middle part of this mouthpiece lies flat on the tongue and will put more pressure on the tongue than a single jointed mouthpiece.
The thicker the middle part, the more pressure on the tongue.
Brass Rings
The center piece of this bit features brass rings that encourage the horse to play with the bit, increasing the tongue activity.
The horse will produce more saliva and will relax the jaws better.
