Premier Equine Blue Sweet Iron Universal Bit with Brass Alloy Lozenge Bit

Premier Equine Blue Sweet Iron Universal Bit with Brass Alloy Lozenge Bit

Combining poll pressure and leverage, the Premier Equine Blue Sweet Iron Universal Bit with Brass Alloy Lozenge is perfect for horses that require a little more control. Also known as a Continental bit, the Universal works much the same way as a traditional gag but is much softer, raising the bit in the horse’s mouth but without the same level of severity, although this bit should only be used by more experienced riders. This bit also allows poll pressure to be applied when using the lower rings which makes it ideal for a higher level of control when jumping or doing fast work. The sweet iron mouthpiece easily oxidises, creating a warming sensation and sweet taste many horses appreciate. Please Note- Due to the properties of the sweet iron, this will lose its blue colour as it ages and oxidises.

Ways to measure for a bit.

1. Measure the horse’s bit that you are currently using, to do this measure the length of the mouthpiece from the inside edge to the opposite inside edge.
2. If you are measuring your horses’ mouth for the first time to determine the length of bit that they need you can do this with a piece of string marking spots on the string then measuring against a ruler, fabric tape, etc if your horse will cooperate.
3. Once you have the length of bit that you need you might need to add ¼ to ½ to the length depending on what bit your selecting

Measurements are approximate.
