Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chrome and nickel and has a high breaking strength. It is neutral in taste, has no saliva activating properties and therefore does not increase the mouthing activity of a horse. Because of the low Edit Edit Edit Edit Production costs, the majority of stainless steel bits are made in the Far East and depending on the manufacturer may provide significant differences in quality. All SPRENGER stainless steel Edit Edit Edit Edit Products fulfil the highest quality standards.
