Argentine Capsule Sweet Iron Curb Bit

Versatile mild leverage combined with anatomically shaped independent action.

Clear Communication & Light Leverage

The Argentine Capsule Sweet Iron Curb is a highly versatile bit, functioning as a bridge between a snaffle and a full curb. The Argentine cheekpiece uniquely allows for direct contact when needed while providing moderate leverage for added control, making it a favorite for Western disciplines and training transitions.

This bit features our specialized Capsule centerpiece, which eliminates the nutcracker effect and allows for independent side movement. The sweet iron mouthpiece, enriched with copper inlays, naturally encourages salivation and relaxation, ensuring your horse remains soft, responsive, and accepting of the bit.

What Makes This Bit Special

  • Versatile Argentine Cheek: Functions as both a snaffle for direct contact and a curb for added control.
  • Independent Side Action: The Capsule Link enables precise, comfortable control and isolated lateral communication.
  • Sweet Iron & Copper: Oxidizes to create a sweet taste, while copper inlays add a tangy flavor to maximize salivation.
  • Anatomical Design: Ergonomically tailored to conform to the horse's mouth, reducing pressure points and ensuring even distribution.
  • Training Efficiency: Provides mild leverage with shorter 88mm shanks, ideal for horses needing refined cues.
