• TIPS AND GOOD INFORMATION

  • Sweet iron is meant to rust. Most horses love the taste it gives.

  • When you receive your bit it has protection oil to prevent it from start rusting before being used. It might make the bit look a bit filthy as first sight. The oil can be either cleaned with a simple towel/paper before start using it or not. The oil is harmless for the horse.

  • If you want to delay the rusting process, wipe the bit dry after every use.

  • Do you think your bit is too rusty after a long time use? Put the sweet iron in Coca Cola and the rust will go away. It is the fosfor in Coca Cola that makes the rust dissolve. Please be careful using any other strong chemicals with fosfor in it! Coca Cola works fine, we promise.

  Note that the blue color of the sweet iron will go away or fade when you choose to do this as well with the rust.
