Description

Sweet Iron

  • 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.

Eggbutt

  • The eggbutt is a basic bit with fixed rings and is therefore stable in the mouth of a horse. 
  • The rings cannot move separately from the mouthpiece, so your help works immediately. 
  • Depending on the type, thickness and material, an egg bunt has a sharper or softer effect. 
  • Because the rings cannot move loose from the mouthpiece, bit guards are not necessary. 
  • The eggbutt is recommended for young horses and for a rider with a normal hand.

Single Jointed

  • A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the lips, layers and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
  • A single jointed bit rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
  • A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.

Locked

  • Locked bits resemble a single broken bit, but cannot hinge as much and lock with a lot of rein pressure, turning the bit into a straight bit.
  • A locked bit acts with a lot of rein pressure as a straight bit and with little rein pressure as a single jointed bit.
  • Locked bits are suitable for horses that run through the hand and are not suitable for an inexperienced rider.
