Martin Sweet iron Loose Rings used - Fager

BIT CATEGORY B : Good condition

The MARTIN 2 ring double snaffle bit is specially designed to never interfere or push against the palate, making it an extremely comfortable bit. The mouthpiece naturally follows the shape of the tongue while relieving the bars of constant pressure.  It is very interesting for sensitive horses that cut themselves easily in the mouth. In addition, its light and straight design allows for more precise and direct communication with the reins. The loose rings allow for a slightly discontinuous contact between the hand and mouth to encourage the horse to take a slight load in his forehand.

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.
