About Sweet Iron — Sweet iron naturally develops a rust-like patina over time. This is completely normal and actually beneficial — the oxidation creates a warm, sweet taste that encourages salivation and bit acceptance. Simply wipe dry after use to maintain your bit.
The CalmPort mouthpiece shape encourages free movement of the tongue and redistributes pressure away from the center of the tongue that many bits with classic link designs create. The cannons of the bit move independently to create a precision in communication between the rider and the horse.
The key departure of this design from the CalmBlue, CalmRide and CalmGreen designs in our line up lie in the addition of a small port for extra tongue relief. Therefore this bit offers the most tongue relief in our barrel link series.
This mouthpiece is made of sweet iron which releases a sweet taste as it gets in contact with saliva that many horses prefer.
Eggbutt cheekpieces are often preferred by young horses or those who require more stability in mouth than loose ring bits offer.
Mouthpiece thickness: 10mm
Please note that sweet iron bits oxidise naturally and the blue parts will over time develop a thin layer of rust and turn brown/grey. This is by design as the "rust" is what creates the taste so many horses love.
Is this bit right for my horse?
Riders often choose this bit for:
- Horses that put their tongue over the bit: one of our strongest tongue-relief designs
- Tongue evasions and sensitive tongues
- Horses with a thick tongue that need space
Worth knowing:
- The port gives molars something to grab, so we do not recommend it for horses that chew the bit with their teeth
- This bit will rust, and it needs to: the surface patina is what creates the warm, sweet taste. Do not submerge it in water or expose it to excessively humid or moist environments, and always wipe it dry after use to ensure longevity and function
The eggbutt keeps the bit still. A good match for busy-mouthed horses and those that prefer stability.
