Fager Walter Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Baucher Snaffle

The Fager Walter Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Baucher Snaffle is a thoughtfully designed bit that combines gentle action with enhanced control, making it an excellent choice for horses that need clear communication without harshness. This bit suits horses that require a bit more stability in the mouth but still benefit from the flexibility and softness of a loose ring snaffle.

At the core of the Walter is the Waterford mouthpiece, crafted from sweet iron. This unique design features multiple smooth, rounded links connected to create a flexible, jointed mouthpiece that distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars. The Waterford action minimizes sharp pressure points, helping prevent discomfort and encouraging the horse to accept the bit calmly. It is particularly effective for horses with sensitive mouths or those prone to leaning or pulling.

The sweet iron material naturally oxidizes over time, producing a mild, pleasant taste that encourages salivation and relaxation. This helps keep the horse’s mouth moist and soft, promoting better acceptance of the bit and reducing resistance.

The Baucher-style cheekpieces offer gentle poll pressure and added stability by lifting the bit slightly in the mouth. This design supports a balanced head carriage and can encourage the horse to come onto the bit more willingly. The loose rings attached to the Waterford mouthpiece allow slight movement, increasing comfort and preventing the bit from feeling too rigid.

This bit is ideal for horses that:

• Need a bit that encourages relaxation and acceptance

• Benefit from gentle poll pressure and stability

• Are sensitive to harsh or sharp bits

• Require a flexible mouthpiece that distributes pressure evenly

The Fager Walter Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Baucher Snaffle offers riders a blend of control, comfort, and refined communication, making it a smart option for improving responsiveness while maintaining a soft, supple connection.
