Sweet iron bits are a particular popular and interesting selectin, the metal in the bit actually rusts away (which in other cases would be a bad thing) and encourages the production of saliva from the horse, which in turn would lead to the horse accepting the bit. Sweet iron bits will oxidise within the horse’s mouth, experts believe this can lead to the horse experiencing a favourable flavour or taste in its mouth; hence the name sweet iron bits.
