Overview
The Shires Roller Link Blue Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bit is an effective option for horses who tend to be busy with their mouth. Complete with traditional stainless steel loose ring cheek pieces, this bit is ideal for a variety of disciplines.
The inclusion of blue steel, a technologically advanced version of traditional sweet iron, oxidizes faster and easier. Blue Steel is advantageous due to its natural ability to rust when in contact with air and humidity. The surface rust tastes sweet, thus encouraging additional saliva production and better acceptance of the bit by the horse. Brass roller disks aid in distracting a horse who likes to play with the bit, giving them a release from boredom and distraction.
Please Note: The rusting (oxidation) process will change the blue surface of the bit to a brownish orange/grey color. This is natural, and can be removed by simply wiping with a damp cloth. If the bit will be used infrequently, oxidation between use can be minimized by applying a baking soda paste to the mouth piece and wiping clean after each use.
