With a rustic antique brown finish, this bit is constructed with a teardrop shaped shank for light leverage and early rein signals. The copper wire wrapped bars encourage salivation to keep the horse’s mouth soft. A sweet iron lifesaver mouthpiece center applies some tongue pressure with rein use. The addition of a curb chain to this bit can help increase speed, rating, and stop. (Please note: sweet iron is designed to rust)

The severity of a bit or hackamore is influenced by rein control of the rider and sensitivity of the horse. All riders should seek an equine professional that they trust when selecting a new bit, as every horse’s needs are unique.
