Shires Sweet Iron Loose Ring Copper Rings And Copper Inlay

Product 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.

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.
