BR Double jointed eggbutt Sweet Iron Magic System 14 mm

The Sweet Iron bits are known for the sweet taste of the mouthpiece. In addition, the bits are anatomically shaped and available in many shapes and sizes.

This double jointed eggbutt is made of solid stainless steel rings and a mild steel mouthpiece combined with a sweet iron layer on the mouthpiece (blue). The sweet iron coating on the mouthpiece stimulates saliva production. When this material reacts with moisture, heat and air it will oxidize and develop a sweet tasting surface rust. This aids in the acceptance of the bit. Eventually the blue color disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains.

The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a soft and even pressure distribution. The mouthpiece contains a locking function, which allows the mouthpiece to act as a bar at the moment of rein pressure or disobedience of the horse. The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14 mm and the bit rings have a diameter of 65 mm.

An eggbutt has rings that cannot rotate freely, so aids have a more direct effect. This type of bit is generally well accepted because the mouthpiece lies relatively firmly in the mouth.
