2 ring horse bit with soft iron double joint Horka

After a while, rust stains will appear on the soft iron bit. The horse likes the sweet taste of rust and will produce more saliva, which will promote better acceptance of the bit. The blue color of the bit gradually changes to gray/brown, with rust spots visible on the mouthpiece. Clean the bit with a damp cloth as the rust stains turn orange. This can happen if the bit is temporarily unused or left in a damp place.
