Sweet iron is intentionally designed to oxidize (rust) when exposed to moisture, creating a sweet taste that horses enjoy. This process stimulates salivation, which is essential for keeping your horse’s mouth soft, moist, and responsive to your cues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit appropriate for a horse just moving out of a snaffle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. The AV Correction Bit is the industry standard for transitioning colts or young horses into a leverage bit. Its four-part mouthpiece allows you to maintain the lateral feel of a snaffle while introducing the vertical flexion and poll pressure required for finished Western performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AVB-101\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46603183161565,"sku":"AVB-101","price":123.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/upscaled-1774908591800.webp?v=1774908591","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/pro-choice-av-correction-bit","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
