Black Steel bits

The string is made of hand-polished “sweet” black 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 better accept the bit.

Thanks to the technology used, the bit changes its color from black, through gray, to brown. Despite the oxidation process taking place, the bit does not lose its properties.

A bit that induces the salivation of horses.

When the material (black steel) reacts with moisture, heat and air in a process called oxidation arises rust with a sweet aftertaste .

The black steel snaffle changes color and a rust bloom appears. Don’t worry – it’s a natural effect. 

Most mounts like this sweet taste and start chewing the bit harder.
