Caelo Balanced Contact Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bit

Features
Dressage legal as a snaffle (FEI, EA, Pony Club)
14mm mouthpiece thickness
70mm loose ring cheekpiece for a softer, more elastic feel
Sweet iron mouthpiece designed to oxidise and encourage salivation

Designed for horses that benefit from a softer, more forgiving connection, this loose ring snaffle supports relaxation, responsiveness, and clear communication, making it especially suited to young or sensitive horses.

The Balanced Contact mouthpiece features a 3-piece lozenge design that allows independent rein action while preventing over-rotation. A subtle internal locking mechanism limits excessive closure, reducing bar pressure and avoiding the jaw squeeze commonly seen in traditional jointed bits.

Balanced Contact folds without collapsing onto the tongue, maintaining light tongue clearance for consistent, comfortable support.
The 70mm loose rings provide a lighter, more mobile feel compared to smaller ring styles, encouraging acceptance and softness. This makes it a strong choice for reactive, young, or sensitive horses, as well as those developing confidence in the contact.
Commonly recommended for jaw or bar-sensitive horses and finer types, including Thoroughbreds, Australian Stock Horses, ponies, and refined Warmbloods. Also well suited to horses that tend to come above the bit or react against pressure.
A popular choice for young horse classes and flatwork where developing a steady, confident connection is the priority.

Care note: Sweet iron naturally rusts with use, creating a taste that can improve acceptance.
