Shires Sweet Iron Bevel Bit
“Love. Love. Love. this tack store. employees are always helpful and they carry a wide selection of new items as well as consignment items. I can't say enough good things!”
This bevel bit allows mild leverage and helps with control. The sweet iron and copper mouthpiece aids salivation and acceptance of the bit.
The ring is larger on the 5.5" & 6" so the bit remains in proportion with the larger horses head. Mouthpiece thickness: 16mm. Cheek height: 55mm (4.5", 5"), 70mm (5.5" & 6"). Sweet iron mouthpieces are designed to oxidize to produce a sweet taste which helps with mouthing.
The addition of copper to the mouth ensures the horse will not take up too much of a contact, ideal for horses that can take a hold. Stainless steel is used for the cheeks due to it being durable, easy to clean and resistance to rust.
