Product description
Sweet Iron
- Sweet Iron bits are made of blue steel and release a sweet-tasting surface rust through contact with saliva, which stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This sweet surface rust will cause the horse to foam more and accept the bit better.
- When a Sweet Iron bit is temporarily not used, an orange-brown rust layer can form on the mouthpiece. This can be easily removed by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.
RNF Bit- Butterfly Flip Bit- Kimblehook
- An RNF Bit is also called a Butterfly Flip Bit, named after the famous jumping horse Butterfly Flip with Malin Baryard.
- A kimblehook is a hanging D with chin strap that works like a kind of pelham with a milder effect and is used with one rein.
- This side piece has 3 options for attaching one rein. The lower the rein is placed, the greater the leverage and the bit sharper.
- An RNF Bit offers the rider more control over the horse than a standard side piece.
Single Jointed
- A single jointed bit has a hinge point in the middle that puts pressure on the lips, layers and sides of the tongue. A single jointed bit squeezes the tongue slightly under pressure and puts less pressure on the tongue.
- A single jointed bit rises slightly in the middle and can sting the palate. In this case is it better to choose a double-jointed or straight mouthpiece.
- A single jointed bit is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.
Locked
- Locked bits resemble a single broken bit, but cannot hinge as much and lock with a lot of rein pressure, turning the bit into a straight bit.
- A locked bit acts with a lot of rein pressure as a straight bit and with little rein pressure as a single jointed bit.
- Locked bits are suitable for horses that run through the hand and are not suitable for an inexperienced rider.
