Why Choose Sweet Iron?

The mouthpiece is crafted from Sweet Iron, a specialized material designed to oxidize (rust) over time. While it may look different, this process is exactly what makes the bit effective:

• Encourages Salivation: The oxidation creates a sweet taste that horses love, encouraging them to salivate and relax their jaw.

• Enhanced Acceptance: By promoting a “wet” mouth, the horse is more likely to accept the bit and stay soft in the hand.

• Warm to the Touch: Unlike stainless steel, sweet iron warms up quickly to the horse’s internal temperature, making it more comfortable upon entry.
