Shipping, Delivery, and Returns

At Horse & Balance, we aim to ship in-stock items within 2-5 business days after order confirmation. We are not responsible for delays caused by third-party carriers.

For custom-made or pre-order items, the delivery times will be communicated to you. If the delivery time is longer than expected, we will inform you.

Returns and Exchanges

In accordance with Dutch law, you have the right to cancel your purchase within 14 days of the delivery date and return a product (except for custom-made or pre-order items) without giving a reason. The product must be unused, in its original packaging, and accompanied by the original proof of purchase.

Custom-made products, such as personalized riding boots and Activo-Med products, cannot be returned unless they are defective or do not conform to the agreement. These products are specifically made to order according to your preferences and therefore cannot be returned or exchanged, except in cases of product defects or deviations from the agreed specifications. In such cases, you are entitled to repair, replacement, or refund under our warranty terms.

Payment for Custom-Made Products

For all custom-made products, including personalized riding boots and Activo-Med products, a deposit of at least 50% of the total price is required. Production of the items will begin once we have received the deposit. The remaining balance must be paid before the product is shipped.

Return Procedure

To exercise your right of withdrawal, contact our customer service at sales@horseandbalance.eu within 14 days of receiving the goods. We will then provide you with instructions for returning the product. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, unless the product is defective or incorrect.

Please note: we cannot accept returns for custom-made or pre-order items, unless there are product defects or non-compliance with the agreement.

Stock and Shipping

If the item you selected is in stock, we will ship it within 2-5 business days to addresses within the Netherlands. We strive to keep as many products in stock as possible, but due to our wide range of products and size variations, not every item is always available.

If an item is out of stock, you will be informed and given the expected delivery time.

Orders containing both in-stock and out-of-stock items will be shipped once all items are available. If you prefer partial shipment, please contact us after placing your order.

Refunds and Return Timeframe

Returns are processed once the item is received in new condition at our warehouse. Please note that refunds may take up to 10 business days after the item is received, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.

If you have any questions about our shipping or return policy, feel free to contact us. We are happy to assist you.

Description

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made from iron and feature a distinctive blue color, achieved through heating during production. When exposed to humid air, Sweet Iron naturally develops an oxidized surface, gradually changing the color of the bit from blue to silver or brown-grey. This oxidation is a characteristic feature of Sweet Iron bits.

Sweet Iron mouthpieces are available in two thicknesses, indicated by a number in the product name. The 12 mm version is found in pony bits and bradoons, offering more space in the mouth. The 16 mm version is our standard thickness and is used in both regular bits and bradoons, making it suitable for a wide range of horses.

If a Sweet Iron bit is left unused for a period, an orange-brown layer of rust may form on the mouthpiece. This can be easily removed by wiping the bit with a damp cloth and does not affect its functionality.

Sweet Iron bits are suitable for all horses and come in a wide variety of mouthpieces, each designed for specific purposes.

Every horse is different, and selecting the right bit plays a key role in comfort, communication, and performance. A properly fitted bit prevents pressure points, slipping, and discomfort—helping your horse stay soft, responsive, and confident in the contact.

Eggbut

The Eggbutt cheekpiece is one of the most stable bit side pieces available. Its fixed rings keep the bit steady in the horse’s mouth, providing a consistent position and a relatively direct connection between the rider’s hand and the horse’s mouth. The design also prevents pinching of the lips, making bit guards unnecessary.

Elliptical / Double-Jointed

A double-jointed bit consists of three parts, with the central link resting on the tongue. This design applies more pressure to the tongue than a single-jointed bit, but it also distributes pressure more evenly across the bars and corners of the mouth.

When using a double-jointed bit, choosing the correct size is essential. If the bit is too large, the joints may reach the corners of the mouth and cause irritation or small wounds.
