Should my Bombers Bit rust?
The Bombers Happy Tongue Loose Ring mouthpiece is made with original sweet iron. This helps encourages salivation, thanks to the oxidation of the metal as it becomes exposed to the horses saliva and air. As a result the sweet iron helps better acceptance of the bit and also offers a sweet taste to the horse as it rusts up.
Is the rust dangerous to my horse?
The rust that is produced by the sweet iron bits is not dangerous to your horse. If the rust is not to you liking, you can get a soft emery cloth and rub the rust off. Wipe the mouth piece down so that it is free from the rust. Please note the blue will disappear after a few weeks of use and the rust will return..
