This creates pressure when your horse pulls or feels heavy in your hand to help get a lighter feeling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of the middle piece and the Sweet Iron material will make this bit an excellent option for horses who tend to get on and off in the contact, where you want a consistent contact in the hand but at the same time a quicker response when you take the reins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. 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. Following use, sweet iron will start to oxidize and turn brownish grey, this is to be expected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweet iron is a good choice for horses who need to seek more contact with the bit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoose rings\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLoose 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fager Bits USA","offers":[{"title":"Sweet Iron \/ 105MM \/ 4¼''","offer_id":48083136282836,"sku":"LEO105L","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sweet Iron \/ 115MM \/ 4½''","offer_id":48083136315604,"sku":"LEO115L","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sweet Iron \/ 125MM \/ 5''","offer_id":48083136348372,"sku":"LEO125L","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sweet Iron \/ 135MM \/ 5¼''","offer_id":48083136381140,"sku":"LEO135L","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sweet Iron \/ 145MM \/ 5¾''","offer_id":48083136413908,"sku":"LEO145L","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/1273\/8199\/files\/1174_8b4d867a0b-leol_angle.jpg?v=1784726899","url":"https:\/\/fagerbitsusa.com\/products\/fager-leo-sweet-iron-loose-ring","provider":"Fager Bits USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
