Single jointed sweet iron mouth with copper ridge inlay. The sweet iron is designed to rust over time, which creates a sweeter taste and encourages acceptance of the bit, together with salivation for dry mouthed horses. The addition of the copper ridges enhances this action.

Size: Cob - 12.5cm / 5"
Mouth Thickness 14mm
Ring Size 65mm

Note: Sweet Iron bits are designed to rust. This effect is caused by oxidisation of the metal, and causes the bit to become sweeter - thus further encouraging acceptance of the bit by the horse
