Korsteel Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Bit

Wonderful

Looks good, works good. I find this is a heavier bit than some other brands of full cheek snaffles. My mare is already used to the weight as I previously had her in the Korsteel Pelham bit. She likes this korsteel design and happily takes her bridle.

Got this per my trainer for my young gelding. He seems to like it, he has the attention span of a gnat right now but this bit holds his attention when we do ring work.

A horse dentist fit this bit to my Friesian Gelding. If the horse is really chewing on a bit, that means the bit does not fit, and there is too much pressure on the upper palate of the horses mouth. Dressage, western and pleasure horses that are holding their mouths wide open with this bit, means the rider is placing too much of their balance on the horses mouth. Please refer to a horse dentist and pull up You Tube videos from a horse dentist to show you what a bit actually does to the horses mouth. If the bit fits properly, your horse will be sound and quiet in the mouth, if you are getting a lot of head jerking, open mouth, slobber, and chewing; your bit does not fit. Also check for ridges on the sides of the horses mouth between the back and front teeth, if the horse is bruised or red, lighten your hand, or have someone properly fit this bit. Dr. D.

My horses and I love sweet iron bits. All my sweet iron western-style bits have had a mouthpiece made of iron, but the mouth on this bit appears to be ordinary steel with cheap plating. This is still a nice quality full-cheek for the price, with good weight and feel, but don't buy it for the "Sweet Iron".

Simple snaffle bit with full cheeks to prevent bit from sliding into the mouth. my horse likes the sweet iron. He went from continuiosly mouthing the old bit to not paying it any attention to the new one. I like the lb per lb pull rather than a leveage bit that way I know exactly how much pressure I am applying. If you can't stop your horse with this bit you need to go back to the round pen.

I've always ridden with hackamores, Tom Thumbs and curb bits...and had issues with my horses. My trainer suggested this bit and wow, what a difference it makes! My boys are so responsive with very little rein action. Great bit for the money, and it got here quick, too!

I love this bit. My horse takes it easily and loves to chomp on it when I ride. One thing I don't like is that you have to wash this bit off after every ride and after a while it rusts. But my riding instructor told me that horses like the sweet taste of rust too and that the rust doesn't hurt them in any way! I was happy about that, but I really don't like the orange color on the sides of my Quarter Horse's mouth. But other than that, this bit is excellent and I also like it better because this bit is nicer to horses!

I personally love full cheeks, and this one for being the cheapest on the site is great quality! My only complaint is it looks like the "sweet iron" is rubbing off?

i <3 love this bit, my horse also does. buying another!

I love it. It works for the English and Western disciplines. I like that the mouth piece is sweet iron. Almost every horse I'v ridden likes it. But I would only use it on horses who's mouth gets dry and rubs.

this is a good bit but the actaul sweet iron rubs off.....(weird) my horse like the chew on bits and i think my mare caused it..but this is a good bit for the price i will be getting another sometime.

I have a Thoroughbred who has a very floppy jelly like mouth and his bits would just fall out of his mouth. Now all he does is keep his mind on keeping in it's like a game of his now! He plays with it everyday when we are riding!

I bought this bit sometime ago and it is great! A loose ring snaffle bit kept going in my horse's mouth and was hard use the leading rein with. My horse was young so it is good to start off with the leading rein. This bit stay in the right place and was easy on his mouth like a loose ring snaffle. My horse is happy and so am I.

I just bought this bit and it's outstanding. Very beautiful. I've wanted a Full Cheek Snaffle for a while and I'm very pleased with this one! Would recommend to anyone.

this bit gives you more controll without puting too much presue on your horses mouth. it puts the presure in the cheek.

This bit is fabulous! My horse loves it and Ive seen a big improvement in his work since I started using it. He is responsive and chomps a lot less!
