Description
This bit is part of the snaffle bit family and is generally very soft with a slight upward action that helps lift the head and neck. Loose ring cheeks offer a greater range of motion than a fixed cheek, which can help discourage binding and tipping. The double-jointed mouthpiece with brass alloy pad allows for even pressure distribution on the tongue and mouth bars while promoting salivation.
The soft blue iron oxidizes easily, creating a warm feeling and sweet taste in the horse's mouth, helping him accept the bit. Please note that the blue color fades with use, which is normal.

Blue Sweet Iron Bits...
Blue Sweet iron bits oxidize easily, creating a warm, sweet taste in the horse's mouth, causing him to salivate. Some horses often prefer the warm feeling of soft iron over stainless steel which is naturally cooler. This makes soft iron bits ideal for sensitive horses or horses that need to be encouraged to put the bit in their mouth and accept it.
Pair your loose ring snaffle bit with one of our anatomical bridles.
For health and hygiene reasons, this bit cannot be returned if removed from the model.
