Anatomical Double Jointed Full Blue Steel Balotade® Bit.
The bit full, thanks to its weight, lies securely in the horse’s mouth.
In these bits, the tendon is slightly bent, which makes it easy to fit to the horse’s palate. With the stronger action of the reins, they change their position slightly, acting more strongly on the tongue. It helps to avoid inappropriate behavior of the horse using the bit and tongue translation.
The strap is made of hand-polished “sweet” blue steel. Sweet iron naturally enhances salivation, and during use, under the influence of moisture, heat and air, a gentle coating of surface rust with a sweet taste is created, which naturally stimulates the horse’s salivation, which makes it easier for the horse to accept the bit. Due to the technology used, the bit changes its color from blue, through gray, to brown. Despite the oxidation process taking place, the bit does not lose its properties.
When the material (blue steel) reacts with moisture, heat and air in a process called oxidation, it produces rust with a sweet taste .
The blue steel bit changes color and a rust bloom appears. Don’t worry – it’s a natural effect.
Most horses like this sweet taste and start chewing the bit harder.
Rings made of stainless steel.
