Waldhausen Sweet Iron, Snaffle Bit, Double-Jointed

The anatomically shaped Sweet Iron bits by Waldhausen are bits that have been shaped to the horse"s mouth. D-ring bits prevent the bit being pulled through the horse"s mouth.

Sweet Iron consists of blue steel, when in contact with moisture (in the air), it starts to oxidise and a sweet brown-grey surface rust forms. This stimulates horses" production of saliva. They start to foam up better, which increases the acceptance of the bit.
