The Fager Fredric Titanium Universal Bit is a sophisticated and versatile bit designed to suit sensitive horses that require a lightweight, non-intrusive mouthpiece with adaptable control. Its anatomical shape and innovative design make it an excellent option for horses that are forward, alert, or reactive, and need gentle support without unnecessary pressure.
Crafted from solid titanium, the Fredric is significantly lighter than traditional bits, making it ideal for horses that are sensitive to weight or prone to tension in the jaw. Titanium also maintains a naturally warm temperature in the mouth, which helps increase comfort and bit acceptance. Horses that are hesitant with heavier or colder metals often show immediate improvement when switching to titanium.
The mouthpiece features a single-jointed design that’s curved forward, providing a more natural fit that allows tongue freedom and eliminates palate pressure. Fager’s Smart System ensures the joint remains stable and does not collapse in a way that could cause discomfort or uneven pressure, unlike traditional single-jointed snaffles.
The Universal cheekpiece offers multiple rein placement options, allowing the rider to adjust the level of leverage depending on the horse’s needs. When extra control is required—such as in jumping, cross-country, or strong flatwork—the lower rein position provides subtle poll pressure and increased responsiveness without creating a harsh action. It’s a useful bit for horses that can become strong but don’t tolerate traditional leverage or gag bits.
The Fager Fredric Titanium Universal Bit is ideal for horses that:
-
Are sensitive to tongue or palate pressure
-
Dislike heavy or cold bits
-
Need mild leverage and a stable, comfortable mouthpiece
With its modern design, lightweight material, and versatile action, the Fredric offers riders a bit that promotes calm, clear communication while respecting the horse’s comfort and sensitivity.
