TiCi Unbroken bustrens bit sweet iron

The TiCi bits are all specially developed for miniature horses, Shetland ponies and small ponies. So is this TiCi unbroken bustrens bit sweet iron.

A sweet iron bit can be recognized by its blue color. The mouthpiece is blue but the tips and rings are silver colored.
The sweet iron bits develop a kind of surface rust through contact with saliva from the horse's mouth or through humidity. This "rust" has a sweet taste which will naturally stimulate saliva production. The horse will foam more which in turn ensures better acceptance of the bit and which will lead to better relaxation.
A sweet iron bit is extremely suitable for horses and ponies that do not relax quickly or have difficulty accepting a normal stainless steel bit. These horses often have a somewhat drier mouth, which means that the bit is less accepted and therefore less comfortable in the mouth. The sweet iron bits can help with this.

A bustrens is a bit that has fixed rings and therefore lies stable in the mouth of your pony or horse. The reins or rein aids work directly because the rings cannot move separately from the mouthpiece. Bit rings are therefore not necessary with this bit. The rings are in a D shape which therefore cannot easily be pulled through the mouth and also puts light pressure on the cheeks of your pony or horse which makes turning easier.

An unbroken mouthpiece, as the name suggests, is made of 1 piece. Because this bit has no hinge points, this bit lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. This is particularly pleasant for smaller miniature horses, Shetland ponies or small ponies with a somewhat narrower or smaller mouth. The mouthpiece applies pressure to the tongue, bars and lips of your pony or horse when using reins or rein aids.

The thickness of this bit is 1cm in sizes 8, 9, 10 and 11cm
