BR Full Cheek Snaffle Sweet Iron 14mm

BR single jointed gag bit 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 single broken gag is made of solid stainless steel combined with a sweet iron layer on the mouthpiece (blue). The sweet iron coating on the mouthpiece stimulates the production of saliva. When this material reacts with moisture, heat and air, it will oxidize and develop a sweet tasting surface rust. This aids in bit acceptance. 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. The mouthpiece of a single broken snaffle hinges at one point. It acts on the tongue, layers, corners of the mouth and sometimes on the palate of the horse. If a rein aid is given, the bit takes on a V shape. Because this mouthpiece has only one hinge point, the tongue is freer than, for example, a double broken bit. The nozzle has a thickness of 14 mm and the bit rings have a diameter of 65 mm.

The toggles provide pressure on the cheeks, emphasizing steering aids and preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth. These properties make this bit a good choice for young horses. A gag bit can be driven with gag straps, this keeps the bit in the right place and creates a light leverage. This type of bit is quiet and stable in the mouth and has a sharper effect.
