Bit thickness

Cheekpiece

Hackamore

The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its action on the bridge of the nose. It also acts on the poll and chin groove when the reins are taken up.

Mouthpiece

Multi-joint/Waterford

A multi-joint or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, so the rider maintains proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. This makes horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
