Key Benefits & Features: Encourages Salivation & Acceptance: The unique blue sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes, creating a warm, sweet taste that promotes salivation and encourages your horse to readily accept the bit. Durable & Hygienic: Crafted with high-quality stainless steel cheeks, ensuring longevity, resistance to rust (on the cheeks), and easy cleaning for lasting performance. Frequently Asked Questions Is it normal for the blue color to fade and for the bit to rust? Absolutely! The blue sweet iron mouthpiece is specifically designed to oxidize (rust) when exposed to air and moisture. This natural process creates a warm, sweet taste that greatly encourages salivation and acceptance by your horse. The fading of the blue color and the appearance of rust are desirable effects, not defects, indicating the bit is working as intended to promote a softer mouth. Is this bit suitable for horses that are fussy-tongued or lean on the bit? Yes, it's ideal! The central loose brass alloy discs (rollers) are designed to gently engage and soothe horses that are "fussy-tongued" or restless, promoting a more settled mouth. Additionally, the loose ring cheek offers greater movement than fixed cheeks, effectively discouraging horses from "fixing" or "leaning" on the bit, thus encouraging a lighter contact. How does this bit encourage my horse to accept it and salivate? The magic lies in the blue sweet iron material. As it oxidizes, it produces a distinctively sweet taste that horses find palatable. This encourages them to salivate more, promoting a softer jaw, greater acceptance of the bit, and a more responsive communication channel between you and your horse. What about the durability and maintenance of this bit? The Shires Blue Sweet Iron Loose Ring with Roller is built to last. While the sweet iron mouthpiece is designed to rust for palatability, the outer rings and main structure are made from durable stainless steel. Stainless steel is renowned for its strength, hygiene, resistance to rust (on the steel parts), and ease of cleaning, ensuring your bit remains in top condition for years of consistent use. How does the bit's design impact its action and movement in my horse's mouth? The loose ring design, combined with the central roller, provides increased movement within the horse's mouth. This freedom of movement is crucial as it encourages a relaxed jaw, allows for more tongue freedom, and prevents the horse from bracing or fixing against the bit, leading to a more natural and fluid connection.
