The blue sweet iron oxidizes to create a sweet taste, which encourages salivation and helps with bit acceptance.
Measure the width of your horse's mouth using a bit gauge or by measuring the existing bit.
Clean the bit after each use to remove any residue and maintain its condition.
This bit is compatible with a standard snaffle bridle.
The mullen mouth design provides a stable platform in the horse's mouth and can be more comfortable for some horses.
Check the fit, ensure there are no pressure points, and consider if your horse prefers a different type of bit.
