Fager Sebastian Sweet Iron Weymouth Bit

If you would describe your horse as any of the following:

• Young or unbalanced
• Sensitive to tongue pressure
• Hard to relax with a double bridle
• Need more freedom for the bridoon
• Has a smaller mouth
• A horse that easily gets wounds on the bars/mouth corners.
• Falls behind with other Weymouths

Sebastian’s mouthpiece is a comfortable, high ported Weymouth bit in Grey Sweet iron.  

Sweet iron will encourage a young or unbalance horse to take the bit and carry it correctly.

The port is bent forward directly over the tongue. There is a big difference to have the bend tilted forward instead of upwards. 

When it is tilted forward, it will give the tongue freedom when it is placed inside the mouth. It also will give the bridoon more space.

When the reins are taken and the horse seeks the connection towards the bit, we want the tongue to take most of the pressure and not the bars.

When the curb rein is pulled, the shank of the bit rotates back towards the chest of the horse, the mouthpiece is pushed forward against the tongue.

The chain is important to divide the pressure between the mouth-poll and chin.

A port upwards will instead highly increase the pressure on the bars and most likely create friction wounds on a sensitive horse. 

Hooks and chains are included.

Other important information:

• Sweet iron is meant to rust. Most horses love the taste it gives.
• When you receive your bit it has protection oil to prevent it from rusting before being used. It might make the bit look a bit filthy as first sight. The oil can be cleaned with a simple towel/paper before the first use left as is. The oil is completely harmless for the horse.
• If you want to delay the rusting process, wipe the bit dry after every use.
• Do you think your bit has become is too rusty after many uses? Put the sweet iron in Coca Cola and the rust will disappear. It is the fosfor in Coca Cola that makes the rust dissolve. Please be careful using any other strong chemicals with fosfor in it! Coca Cola works fine, we promise.
