Description
Premier Equine Blue Sweet Iron Hanging Cheek with Brass Alloy Lozenge
- The Hanging cheek is a fixed cheek bit which helps encourage flexion, making this bit is especially useful for horses with a high head carriage.
- Can also be useful for horses that are unsure of the bit as it has limited movement in the mouth.
- The double jointed mouth piece with brass alloy lozenge distributes the pressure evenly over the tongue and bars of the mouth whilst aiding salivation and also helping to calm and focus the horse.
- Blue sweet iron oxidises easily which creates a warming sensation and a sweet taste in the horse’s mouth, helping them to accept the bit.
- Please note that the blue colour will fade with use, this is normal.
