Sweet Iron Eggbutt Bradoon 12mm Locked

The Sweet Iron Eggbutt Bradoon Locked Bit is a specific type of horse bit that combines the benefits of sweet iron, the eggbutt design, and a locked mechanism, paired with the bradoon style mouthpiece. This bit is often used in double bridle setups, where it works in combination with a curb bit to provide both direct and leverage control over the horse. Here's a detailed breakdown of the features:

Key Features of the Sweet Iron Eggbutt Bradoon Locked Bit:

Sweet Iron Material:

Sweet iron is a material known for its ability to rust slightly over time, which creates a sweet taste that encourages the horse to salivate more. This can make the bit more comfortable for the horse by promoting relaxation and softening their mouth.

The sweet taste produced by the rusting of the sweet iron helps improve the horse’s acceptance of the bitand enhances their responsiveness, as it encourages them to stay relaxed and focused.

Eggbutt Design:

The eggbutt design features fixed rings that are smooth and round, which reduces the chance of pinching the horse's lips and cheeks. This design helps keep the bit stable in the horse’s mouth, reducing unnecessary movement and making the bit more comfortable.

The fixed rings in the eggbutt design also help maintain consistent pressure on the horse's mouth, which improves communication between the rider and the horse. The stability of the eggbutt prevents the bit from shifting around too much, offering more reliable contact.

Bradoon Mouthpiece:

The bradoon is a type of jointed snaffle bit, often used in double bridle setups. It typically features a double-jointed mouthpiece, which helps distribute pressure more evenly across the horse's tongue and bars, making it a gentler option than a single-jointed snaffle.

Bradoons are generally milder than curb bits and are designed to be used in conjunction with the curb bit for dual control. The bradoon provides direct pressure and encourages the horse to soften in the mouth, while the curb bit (used with a separate set of reins) provides leverage.

Locked Mechanism:

The locked mechanism in the Sweet Iron Eggbutt Bradoon means that the bit remains fixed in position in the horse’s mouth. This provides consistent pressure and makes the bit more stable, preventing excessive movement.

The locked action ensures that the bradoon doesn’t slide or shift, which gives the rider more precise controlover the horse's responses. This mechanism is useful for ensuring clear, reliable communication, particularly when used with a double bridle where the rider is managing multiple reins.
