Trust Sweet Iron Dee Brass Ring Bit
The D-Ring Bit features a D-shaped cheekpiece that keeps the mouthpiece stable in the horse’s mouth. The fixed rings prevent excessive movement, allowing for a steady and comfortable fit. The pressure of the D-rings against the cheeks helps with steering by naturally guiding the horse’s head in the correct direction. This makes the bit particularly suitable for young horses or those in training. The shape of the D-rings also prevents the bit from being pulled through the horse’s mouth.
The mouthpiece with rings is a variation of the double-jointed bit. The small rings in the center encourage the horse to play with the bit, increasing tongue activity. This stimulation leads to increased salivation, helping the horse relax its jaw and accept the bit more easily.
The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a distinctive blue color. When exposed to moisture and air, Sweet Iron naturally oxidizes, creating a sweet-tasting surface rust. This oxidation process encourages salivation, promoting better bit acceptance and relaxation. Over time, the bit changes color from blue to brownish-gray.
