Twisted Roller Full Cheek Snaffle

The Sweet Iron Twisted Roller Full Cheek Snaffle

A neat Full Cheek Snaffle with a 8mm sweet iron twisted mouthpiece and a small copper roller. The twist increases pressure on the tongue and bars of the mouth, offering the rider a greater level of control than a regular mouthpiece, and can help to prevent the horse from leaning and also aids in lifting the forehand.

The addition of a copper roller enhances this effect, many horses like the taste of copper and like sweet iron it promotes salivation and mouthing. The moveable link will encourage the horse to gently play with the bit, creating relaxation in the jaw

Sweet Iron Metal

Sweet Iron bits are created using a unique formulation of black iron and copper, this combination of metals produces a mouthpiece that is initially a distinctive blue colour however your bit will eventually rust with use. 

Sweet iron bits are designed to oxidise easily, warming up in the horse’s mouth and creating a sweet taste. This encourages the horse to salivate, accept the bit and soften into the contact. These bits are a great choice for horses who need encouragement to soften and accept the contact.
