Expert opinion
Expert's Opinion: Mattias is a double-jointed sweet iron bit with a special lockup function. The mouthpiece has a tongue relief but locks upwards, which can be good for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars who still prefers a tongue relief.
The bit doesn't lock forward like a normal lockup bit, which means that you won't get the stiff feeling of a straight bit.
The joints are rotated away from the tongue, which gives a more gentle, smooth pressure on the tongue. This can be good for horses that can overreact when you take the reins and need to keep the consistent contact through every movement. The sweet taste together with the stability makes the horse seek a stable contact with the bit.
The Dee rings make the bit lay still in the mouth and prevent the bit from sliding side to side. The straight sides help with steering and framing.
Material
Sweet Iron : Sweet Iron alloy oxidises on contact with moisture in the mouth and air. Oxidation produces a sweet taste that naturally stimulates saliva production. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar given to the horse at the beginning of the session, but allows this sweet taste to be diffused throughout the work. As a result, this alloy ensures good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to make contact with the mouthpiece. Oxidation changes the appearance of the bit over the course of the sessions.
