Expert opinion
Elias is a sweet-tasting, single-jointed Sweet iron Snaffle. Elias provides even pressure distribution and creates a comfortable and responsive contact in the horse's mouth. It is designed to be gentle and offers clear signals as it gives pressure on the sides of the tongue but less pressure on the top of the tongue. It enables fine-tuned communication between rider and horse for a positive and trusting riding experience. Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. We have both grey and blue sweet iron coatings. The purpose is to disguise the metal taste from stainless steel and create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging the horse to seek more contact and hold on to the bit.
Loose Rings are designed to move independently to the mouthpiece. This allows the horse more freedom to use his tongue, allowing them to place the pressure from the mouthpiece either higher or lower, whichever they prefer. Loose Rings are a good choice for a horse that can be slightly stiff or hard in the mouth.
Material
Sweet Iron : Sweet Iron alloy oxidizes upon contact with moisture in the mouth and air. The oxidation brings a sweet taste that naturally stimulates the production of saliva. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar that is given to the horse at the beginning of the session but allows to diffuse this sweet taste throughout the work. Therefore, this alloy allows a good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to make contact with the mouthpiece. The oxidation modifies the aspect of the bit during the sessions.
