Trust Equestrian Sweet Iron Full Cheek Medium Port

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.

Full cheek:

• The side pieces of a full cheek have 2 bars on the side and therefore cannot be pulled through the mouth.
• These bars create more pressure on the horse's cheeks, which makes maneuverability easier.
• A full cheek is stable and quiet in the mouth, ideal for training young horses.
• Depending on the type, thickness and material, a full cheek is given a sharper or softer effect.

Full Cheek Loops:

• To make a full cheek even more effective, a full cheek loop can be attached to the cheek piece of the bridle on either side of the bit.
• The end of the top bar is pushed through this.
• Leverage is created by using these loops.
• Prevents the bars from getting caught under the noseband of the bridle.

Straight mouthpiece:

• A straight mouthpiece consists of 1 piece and gives pressure on the tongue, layers and lips.
• The shape and thickness of the mouthpiece determine where the pressure will be in the mouth.
• A straight mouthpiece with a tongue port gives more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free.
• The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.
