Full Cheek Single Jointed Blue Steel Balotade® Bit.

The bit full, thanks to its weight, lies securely in the horse’s mouth.

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.

Thanks 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.

A full cheek bit, thanks to its characteristic structure, helps when working with horses that have difficulty turning. It greatly facilitates the work and ensures proper operation of the bit on the tongue.

The string and rings are made of stainless steel.

Tendon thickness 13 mm.

Blue steel bits rust because react in contact with moisture, heat and air. The oxidation process occurs, As a result, a layer of rust appears on the surface of the bit, which has a sweet aftertaste .

Color change and rust deposits are a natural phenomenon., which is one of the characteristics of this material. This makes the bit more attractive to the horse, because the delicate, sweet taste encourages him to chew and take the bit better. Nie należy się tym martwić – to zamierzony efekt, który supports the horse’s comfort while riding .

Blue Steel bits are made of a material that naturally stimulates the horse’s saliva production.. Podczas użytkowania, pod wpływem wilgoci, ciepła i kontaktu z powietrzem, na powierzchni wędzidła tworzy się delikatny nalot rdzy o sweet taste .

This sweet taste encourages the horse to chew, which in turn increases saliva production and makes the horse accept the bit better. Dzięki temu wędzidła Blue Steel wspierają naturalne procesy, które improve comfort and communication between the rider and the horse while riding.


Yes, Blue Steel bits can be returned, but only if they have not been used.. Oznacza to, iż wędzidło nie może być nawet raz włożone do pyska konia.

Due to the specific nature of the material from which they are made, traces such as a slight rust coating appear on the bit’s surface after the first use., which makes it look not like new. Therefore, the return is only possible in intact condition.

We make our blue bits from a type of steel we call “sweet iron.” We choose this material because it rusts easily, which creates a sweet taste that is appealing to horses. The rust comes from an oxidation process that occurs when the bit comes into contact with moisture and air.

Dyeing process: The blue colour of our bits is obtained by heating sweet iron. As a result of this process, a blue oxide layer is formed on the surface of the bit. As it is used, the colour changes from blue to grey and then to brown as a result of further oxidation. This colour change is natural and does not affect the performance of the bit.

Polishing: Once the bit is shaped we polish it thoroughly to ensure a smooth finish. Polishing prevents pinching or irritation in the horse’s mouth and improves the aesthetics of the bit.


No, rusting is one of the main advantages and characteristics of Blue Steel bits.. Wędzidła tego typu zaczynają rdzewieć już od pierwszego użycia, ponieważ to właśnie proces rdzewienia tworzy słodki posmak, który zachęca konie do żucia i poprawia ich komfort.

Due to the high sensitivity of the material to moisture, micro traces of rust may also appear on bits that have not been used yet.. Nie jest to wada produktu i dlatego takie przypadki are not subject to complaint .

Yes, Blue Steel bits are completely safe for your horse.. Materiał, z którego są wykonane, został odpowiednio przebadany, aby zapewnić komfort i bezpieczeństwo użytkowania.

The natural rusting process that occurs on the bit surface does not pose a threat to the horse’s health.. Wręcz przeciwnie, jest to zamierzona efekt, który wspomaga wydzielanie śliny i sprawia, że koń chętniej przyjmuje wędzidło. Możesz bez obaw używać wędzideł Blue Steel, nie martwiąc się o ich wpływ na zdrowie konia.

Horses like Blue Steel bits because the bit material stimulates the natural processes in the horse’s mouth. Słodkie żelazo, z którego są wykonane, w naturalny sposób enhances saliva secretion .

Under the influence of moisture, heat and contact with air, a delicate rust coating with a sweet taste forms on the surface of the bit , which encourages the horse to chew and causes salivation to become more intense.. Dzięki temu koń lepiej przyjmuje wędzidło, a cała komunikacja między jeźdźcem a koniem staje się łatwiejsza i bardziej komfortowa.

To slow down the rusting process and keep the bit in the best condition possible, it is worth taking care of it properly. After each use, wipe the bit dry and store it in a dry, heated room where it will not be exposed to moisture.

If the bit is left in a humid environment, the rusting process will accelerate, which can result in the entire surface quickly becoming covered in rust. Regular care of the bit will ensure longer durability and retain its properties, such as pleasant taste and proper functioning.
