Description

The Premier Equine Rubber Full Cheek Snaffle with Lozenge is a blue sweet iron bit available in three sizes: 4.5 inch (114mm), 5 inch (127mm), and 5.5 inch (140mm). It is a tom thumb style bit, combining characteristics of an American gag and an elevator bit, and is popular for show jumping and cross country.

  • Tom thumb design - a cross between an American gag and an elevator bit
  • Offers more precision and control, popular for show jumping and cross country
  • Has a lifting effect in front which can assist the rider in helping to sit the horse back on its hocks, enabling tighter turns and more efficient jumping
  • Uplifting action combined with poll pressure can discourage horses from leaning on the bit
  • Can be used with one rein on either the snaffle ring or the lower ring, or with two reins for increased precision
  • Blue sweet iron oxidises easily, creating a warming sensation and a sweet taste in the horse's mouth, helping them to accept the bit
  • Please note that the blue colour will fade with use - this is normal
  • Bit measurements: A = 15mm, B = 125mm

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Premier Equine Rubber Full Cheek Snaffle with Lozenge come in?
This bit is available in three sizes: 4.5 inch (114mm), 5 inch (127mm), and 5.5 inch (140mm).
What are the A and B measurements for this bit?
As per the Premier Equine size guide, the A measurement is 15mm and the B measurement is 125mm.
Why is this bit blue, and will the colour last?
The blue colour comes from the sweet iron material. Blue sweet iron oxidises easily with use, and the blue colour will fade over time - this is completely normal and does not affect the bit's function.
Can this bit be ridden with two reins?
Yes. It can be used with one rein on either the snaffle ring or the lower ring, or alternatively with two reins for increased precision.
Why might sweet iron be beneficial for a sensitive horse?
Blue sweet iron oxidises easily, creating a warming sensation and a sweet taste in the horse's mouth. This can encourage salivation and help horses - particularly sensitive ones or those that are reluctant to accept the bit - to mouth and accept it more readily. Some horses prefer the warm sensation of sweet iron compared to stainless steel, which is naturally colder.
