Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Shires Blue Sweet Iron Universal with Roller Link come in?
This bit is available in three sizes: 4.5 Inch (114mm), 5 Inch (127mm), and 5.5 Inch (140mm).
Why does this bit use Blue Sweet Iron, and what does it do?
Blue Sweet Iron oxidises rapidly when in contact with moisture, creating a warm, sweet taste in the horse's mouth. This encourages salivation and promotes timely bit acceptance, which can be particularly helpful during training or competition.
What is the purpose of the Brass Alloy inclusions in this bit?
The Brass Alloy inclusions provide a warmer and more savoury taste experience for the horse, complementing the properties of the Blue Sweet Iron material.
Will the blue colour of this bit last?
The unique blue hue will evolve and fade over time with regular use. This is a normal characteristic of Blue Sweet Iron and does not affect the bit's practical performance.
Which type of horse is this bit particularly suited to?
This bit is described as ideal for horses who tend to get fussy with their tongue, as the roller link and gentle gag response help address tongue sensitivity.
Can this bit be used in competition as well as training?
According to the product description, this bit is suitable for both training and competition use. Always check with your relevant governing body to confirm the bit is permitted in your discipline.
