Sweet iron is a mild steel that oxidises with use, and the slightly sweet taste encourages many horses to mouth the bit and accept the contact. The brown rust that forms on the mouthpiece is normal and is part of how it works. Sweet iron is often combined with copper inlays or a lozenge.It is a popular, inexpensive way to find out what suits your horse. For help with fit, see how to measure a horse bit.
