Trust Baby Weymouth non-fixed Sweet Iron Arched

A baby weymouth non-fixed is used together with a bradoon, the so-called double bridle. This combination is used in the higher dressage classes. Because of the pumping effect there is more movement in the bit. The horse can lift the bit slightly to reduce the pressure on the tongue. The weymouth is a cheekpiece with leverage. The longer the shanks the sharper the effect. The baby weymouth non-fixed has short shanks and therefore is a milder bit than the normal weymouth non-fixed. For a double bridle combination a special bridle or an extra cheekpiece is required. In addition, this bit must always be combined with a curb chain to prevents the bit from rotating too far in the horse’s mouth. This bit is not suitable for the inexperienced rider.

The arched mouthpiece is a straight mouthpiece with a slight curve. An arched mouthpiece is a straight mouthpiece that is slightly bent. Because of the forward bend in the bit there is room for the tongue. This mouthpiece exert even pressure on the complete tongue. An arched mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a jointed or eliptical mouthpiece.

The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. Sweet Iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity, the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more, which in turn will encourage a better acceptance of the bit.
