A sweet taste for a fine connection: The Waldhausen Sweet Iron D-Ring Snaffle, double jointed

If you're looking for a solution to increase your horse's comfort and satisfaction with the bit, the Waldhausen Sweet Iron D-Ring Snaffle, double jointed is an excellent choice. What makes this double-jointed model so special is the mouthpiece made of sweet iron. This is a special steel specifically designed to oxidize when it comes into contact with air and moisture. Through this process, the material develops a sweet-tasting surface. Horses find this subtle taste very pleasant, which promotes saliva production and encourages natural chewing activity.

This bit is ideal for riders who want to significantly improve bit acceptance. Because of its positive effects on mouth activity, it is especially popular for sensitive or young horses that need to build trust in the rider's hand. The classic D-rings, made of high-quality stainless steel, provide a visual and functional contrast to the oxidizing mouthpiece. To perfectly suit your horse's anatomical proportions, the thickness of the mouthpiece is matched to the width: up to a bit width of 12.5 cm, the thickness is 14 mm, and from a width of 13.5 cm, the thickness is 16 mm.

Questions & Answers:

Why does the mouthpiece start to rust?
This is exactly what is intended with the sweet iron material and is not a quality defect. When the special steel comes into contact with moisture from the horse's mouth and the air, it oxidizes. This intentional surface rust forms the sweet-tasting layer that stimulates your horse's saliva flow and chewing activity.
