Curb Bit in Portuguese style from Sweet Iron
Classic Curb Bit, as it is often used in Portugal. The slight, vertical play of the mouthpiece encourages the horse to chew. This makes it easier to loosen the jaw, poll and therefore the entire horse's back. The optimized and anatomically shaped Mullen Mouth ported mouthpiece is readily accepted by many horses as it lies very evenly on the tongue and is cushioned by it. Through natural oxidation processes and the formation of noble rust, the burnished iron stimulates saliva formation. For horses with sensitive mouth angles, we recommend the use of bit guards due to the flexible connection between side piece and mouthpiece .

Effect & use of the Portuguese Curb Bit
The Portuguese Curb Bit has a less direct effect due to its movable side pieces compared to curbs with fixed welded mouthpiece. This allows the horse to play more with the mouthpiece and rein aids are less direct. The light sliding cheek allows the horse to move the mouthpiece up and down rhythmically. This helps mouthy horses and horses with very little mouth activity to relax the jaw better. This also relaxes the poll and ultimately the horse's entire body more easily.
The Portuguese Curb Bit can be used bare with one or two pairs of reins. The use with two pairs of reins offers a wonderful alternative to the combination Curb Bit-bradoon for horses with a short mouth and little space in the mouth.
The right size for the Curb Bit
Under "Size guide" (see above) you will find the real dimensions of the mouthpiece. If you are unsure, we recommend that you compare the real dimensions of your existing bit with those of the Portuguese Curb Bit to find the right size. Please note that the side pieces should fit close to the corners of your horse's mouth. If your horse fluctuates between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size for this model.
Care instructions for burnished iron
Rust forms on traditional, burnished products or product components after some time. This is caused by natural oxidation processes and is not a quality defect, but an essential and desired characteristic of this material. To maintain the dark color, it is advisable to occasionally rub the affected parts with a cloth soaked in olive oil.
