TRUST Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle with Locking Single Joint

TRUST Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle with Locking Single JointThe Locked mouthpiece is single jointed, but locks when it is hinged. So when there is counter pressure, it works like an unjointed mouthpiece. This makes the effect stronger. The bit changes back into a single joint mouthpiece when there is less counter pressure on the reins. This makes it an ideal corrective mouthpiece for horses that, for example, push against the hand and or walk through the hand. Sweet Iron develops surface rust through contact

The Locked mouthpiece is single-jointed, but locks when it is hinged. So when there is counter-pressure, it works like an unjointed mouthpiece. This makes the effect stronger. The bit changes back into a single-joint mouthpiece when there is less counter-pressure on the reins. This makes it an ideal corrective mouthpiece for horses that, for example, push against the hand and/or walk through the hand.

Sweet Iron develops surface rust through contact with (air)humidity. This surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This causes the horse to salivate more, which in turn encourages a better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) transforms the blue colour of the TRUST Bits into a brownish-grey. If a sweet iron bit is not used for a while, an orange-brown rust layer may form on the mouthpiece. Simply remove this by wiping the bit with a damp cloth. Of course, this surface rust is not harmful to the horse.
