Fager John Sweet Iron 2,5 Ring Bit

The Fager John Sweet 2,5 Ring Bit is a sweet-tasting, double-jointed bit with bar relief. The design is simple, unique and designed with the horse’s ultimate comfort in mind. Combined with the sweet taste material, the horse will seek more contact with the hand. They will be less overreactive when you take the reins, keeping a more consistent contact. The sidepieces will give you more control with the gag effect, and get a softer, more flexible feeling in the hand.

The joints are specifically designed to give a more gentle pressure on the tongue, making it extremely comfortable. The mouthpiece naturally conforms to the shape of the tongue whilst relieving the bars from constant pressure.

The Fager John Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bit is ideal for horses that:

• Gets strong but still needs to seek more contact with the bit.
• Resistant to keep a consistent contact.
• Needs clearer brakes and more flexibility.
• Needs to calm down in the mouth without getting stiff in the sides.

Material

Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. The purpose is to disguise the metal taste from stainless steel and create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging the horse to seek more contact and hold on to the bit. Following use, sweet iron will start to oxidize and turn brownish grey, this is to be expected.

Sweet iron is a good choice for horses who need to seek more contact with the bit.

Loose rings

The 2,5-ring rings allow variation of the effect to suit different situations and horses. For maximum effect, attach the reins to the bottom ring and this creates a gag effect. For a mix which emulates a mix of a Baucher bit and loose rings, attach the reins to the middle ring. This bit can be used with the Fager Non-swivle hooks and Chain to distribute the pressure more evenly between the poll, chin, and mouth.

Whether you’re developing a young horse or refining the connection with an experienced partner, the Fager John Sweet Iron supports a softer contact, better communication, and total comfort – every ride, every time.
