Fager John Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bit
The Fager John Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bit is a sweet-tasting, double-jointed Snaffle 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 and be less overreactive when you take the reins, keeping a more consistent contact.
The joints are specifically designed to give a much more gentle pressure on the tongue, making John an extremely comfortable bit. The mouthpiece naturally conforms to the shape of the tongue whilst relieving the bars from constant pressure.
The Fager Fager John Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bit is ideal for horses that:
- Needs to seek more contact with the bit.
- Can overreact when you take the reins.
- Resistant to keep a consistent contact.
- Needs to calm down in the mouth.
- Sensitive tongue and bars, can chew on the bit and throw the head.
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
Loose Rings are designed to move independently to the mouthpiece. This allows the horse more freedom to use his tongue, allowing them to place the pressure from the mouthpiece either higher or lower, whichever they prefer. Loose Rings are a good choice for a horse that can be slightly stiff or hard in the mouth.
Whether you’re developing a young horse or refining the connection with an experienced partner, the Fager John Sweet Iron loose ring supports a softer contact, better communication, and total comfort – every ride, every time.
