The Showman® 5" Stainless Steel Sweet Iron Broken Mouth with Sliding Gag Bit is designed to provide effective communication and added control while maintaining comfort for your horse. The sweet iron broken mouthpiece encourages salivation and helps promote a softer, more relaxed response to rein cues. Over time, the sweet iron naturally oxidizes, which many horses prefer as it creates a pleasant taste that encourages better acceptance of the bit.
The sliding gag design offers additional leverage when needed, applying pressure to the horse’s mouth and poll to encourage the horse to lift its head and rebalance. This action can help improve responsiveness and control, making it a great option for riders working on collection, speed events, or horses that need a little extra guidance. Crafted from durable stainless steel, this bit is built to withstand regular riding while remaining reliable and easy to maintain.
