The Fager Milton Sweet Iron Loose Rings Bradoon Snaffle is designed to deliver precise control and maximum comfort for horses ridden in a double bridle setup. Made with quality sweet iron, this bit encourages salivation and promotes a relaxed, responsive mouth, making it ideal for horses that need a gentle yet effective bradoon.
The double-jointed mouthpiece features a unique barrel-shaped centre link that reduces the typical nutcracker effect found in many snaffles. This shape distributes pressure evenly across the horse’s tongue and bars, preventing sharp points of discomfort and helping the horse stay calm and focused. The double joint provides excellent lateral flexibility, allowing riders to give subtle, refined aids without causing irritation.
Crafted from sweet iron, the bit gradually oxidizes with use, creating a taste that many horses find appealing. This natural encouragement to salivate helps keep the horse’s mouth soft and elastic, reducing tension and encouraging acceptance of the bit.
The loose ring cheeks offer freedom of movement and prevent the bit from becoming too fixed in the horse’s mouth. This encourages relaxation in the jaw and poll, giving the horse the freedom to respond fluidly to the rider’s aids. The loose rings also reduce the risk of the bit pinching the corners of the mouth, which is especially important for sensitive horses.
This bradoon snaffle suits horses that:
-
Require gentle but clear communication in a double bridle
-
Tend to become tense or resistant with harsher bits
-
Benefit from even pressure and increased mouth comfort
-
Need encouragement to stay soft and supple through the poll and jaw
The Fager Milton Sweet Iron Loose Rings Bradoon Snaffle blends thoughtful design with high-quality materials to provide a reliable, comfortable bit that supports subtlety and precision in every ride.
