Shires Blue Sweet Iron Hollow jointed loose ring bit can discourage fixing as it has much more movement in the horse’s mouth.
The hollow mouth is significantly lighter than those with a solid mouthpiece.
Blue sweet iron mouthpieces oxidise easily to create warmth with a sweet taste which helps with bit acceptance and encourages salivation.
Mouthpiece thickness: 18mm. Cheek height: 50mm (4.5″, 5″), 65mm (5.5″, 6″). Please note the blue colour will fade with use. Stainless steel is used for the cheeks due to it being durable, easy to clean and resistance to rust.
