Aster Confidence Sweet Iron Double Jointed Lock Up Fixed Ring

The Aster Confidence sweet iron double-jointed lock-up fixed ring is designed to provide stability and reassurance while maintaining a softer, more even feel across the tongue.

Crafted in sweet iron, the mouthpiece offers gentle warmth, and the sweet iron brings a taste horses like, which aids salivation, particularly useful for young horses or horses with drier mouths. The central double joint distributes pressure more evenly than a traditional single joint, supporting horses who prefer a flatter, more accommodating feel.

The fixed ring prevents pinching of the lips, which is often an issue with horses with puffy lips that flood the sides of the mouthpiece.

The subtle lock-up mechanism prevents over-collapse of the mouthpiece, maintaining straightness and stability without creating rigidity. This allows rein aids to be reinforced clearly while avoiding sharp or exaggerated reactions during contact.

A considered option for developing horses, sensitive mouths, or those seeking greater stability without excess interference.

Good for the following horses:

Reluctant to take a consistent contact

Unsettled or unstable in other bits

Greener or more sensitive horses needing reassurance

Horses sensitive to single joint pressure, or that hang on one rein

Those who dip in and out of the connection
