Description
Premier Equine Blue Sweet Iron Universal Bit with Brass Alloy Lozenge
- The universal bit combines poll pressure with leverage and is ideal for those who require a little more control.
- The blue sweet iron mouthpiece 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.
- Also known as a continental bit, it works by raising the bit in the horse’s mouth in a similar way to a traditional gag but without the same severity.
- Poll pressure can be applied by using the lower rings.
- A softer option to the three ring Dutch gag, this bit is ideal for riders who need a little more control when jumping or doing fast work but don’t need massive amounts of poll pressure.
