This single ring bit features solid stainless steel washers and a soft iron mouthpiece with a "sweet iron" coating (blue). The soft iron coating on the mouthpiece will stimulate salivation. When this material reacts with moisture, heat and air in an oxidation process, the surface rust has a sweet taste. This promotes acceptance of the bit. Eventually the blue color disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains.
The anatomical design follows the shape of the horse's mouth, creating a smooth, even pressure distribution. The Magic System bit combines the flexibility of a broken bit with the great controllability offered by a straight barrel. The exclusive patented design prevents the bit from bending completely, thus avoiding the risk of injury to the tongue and palate. The barrel of a single-break bit tilts at one point. It works on the horse's tongue, bars, corners of the mouth and sometimes the roof of the mouth. If the reins are used, the bit takes on a V shape. As this bit has only one point of articulation, the tongue is freer than with, say, a double-broken bit. Barrel thickness 14 mm. Rings 65 mm.
A ring bit is a bit with separate bit washers. This type of bit is generally well accepted, as the barrel is relatively loose in the mouth.
