Description

Discover the Shires Blue Sweet Iron Loose Ring with Lozenge at Just Horse Riders. The loose ring cheek from Shires is designed to help prevent fixing and leaning by providing more movement than standard fixed cheeks. This design allows the bit to follow the angle of the horse's tongue, encouraging mouthing and contact for better control and communication.

Fashioned from Blue Sweet Iron, this bit oxidises easily to create a warm, sweet taste that horses love. This unique feature aids in bit acceptance and prompts salivation. The presence of Brass Alloy inserts results in a warm, more palatable bit that your horse will appreciate. Note that the blue hue of the bit will subtly fade with use. Feel the difference for yourself and your equine companion, buy now from Just Horse Riders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this bit use Blue Sweet Iron as the material?
Blue Sweet Iron is used because it oxidises easily, creating a warm, sweet taste that encourages horses to accept the bit and promotes salivation for better contact and communication.
What role do the Brass Alloy inserts play in this bit?
The Brass Alloy inserts contribute to a warm, more palatable feel in the horse's mouth, complementing the Sweet Iron to make the bit more acceptable to the horse.
Will the blue colour of this bit last over time?
No - the product description notes that the blue hue will subtly fade with use, which is a normal characteristic of Blue Sweet Iron bits.
How does the loose ring cheek design differ from a fixed cheek bit?
The loose ring cheek provides more movement than standard fixed cheeks, which helps prevent the horse from fixing and leaning. It also allows the bit to follow the angle of the horse's tongue, encouraging mouthing and contact.
What is the mouthpiece style of this bit?
This bit features a lozenge mouthpiece, combined with a loose ring cheek, as part of the Shires Blue Sweet Iron range.
