BR Double jointed full cheek Sweet Iron 14 mm

The Sweet Iron bits are known for the sweet taste of the mouthpiece. In addition, the bits are anatomically shaped and available in many shapes and sizes.

This double jointed full cheek is made of solid stainless steel rings and a mild steel mouthpiece combined with a sweet iron layer on the mouthpiece (blue). The sweet iron coating on the mouthpiece stimulates saliva production. When this material reacts with moisture, heat and air it will oxidize and develop a sweet tasting surface rust. This aids in the acceptance of the bit. Eventually the blue color disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains.

The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a soft and even pressure distribution. With a double-broken bit, the mouthpiece consists of three parts, the middle part of which lies flat on the tongue. This puts more pressure on the tongue than with a single broken mouthpiece. The thicker the middle part, the more pressure on the tongue. The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14 mm and the bit guards have a diameter of 65 mm.

The full cheek snaffles put pressure on the cheeks, emphasizing the steering aids and ensuring that the bit cannot be pulled through the mouth. These phead-head-roperties make this bit a good choice for young horses. A full cheek can be driven with full cheek snaffle straps, this keeps the bit in the right place and creates a light leverage effect. This type of bit is quiet and stable in the mouth and has a sharper effect.
