Waldhausen Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle, single jointed, for Horses, 12.5 cm

Promoting Chewing Activity: The Waldhausen Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle, single jointed

The Sweet Iron mouthpiece of the Waldhausen Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle, single jointed offers clever support for your daily training. This material is a special steel that oxidises when it comes into contact with air and moisture. This creates a fine surface rust that has a sweet taste. This taste is very pleasant for horses, encouraging saliva production and supporting natural chewing activity in a gentle way, while the single-jointed design allows for direct communication.

Thanks to these positive effects, acceptance of the bit can be significantly improved, which is why this model is particularly popular for sensitive or young horses that are building trust in the rider's hand. The stainless steel loose rings with a diameter of 7 cm ensure the necessary mobility. To ensure the bit fits anatomically in the horse's mouth, the thickness is proportionally adapted: up to a bit width of 12.5 cm the thickness is 14 mm, from 13.5 cm width the thickness is 16 mm.

Questions & Answers:

Why does the mouthpiece rust after a while?
This is an absolutely intentional effect of the Sweet Iron material. When the special steel reacts with the moisture in the horse's mouth and the air, it oxidises. This surface rust tastes sweet to the horse and stimulates chewing and saliva flow.

Is the bit thickness the same for every width?
No, the bit thickness is adapted to the chosen width. Up to a width of 12.5 cm the bit is 14 mm thick. For larger widths from 13.5 cm the thickness is 16 mm to ideally match the proportions of the horse's head.
