Fager Martin FL Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer Bit

The Fager Martin FL Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer Bit is a double-jointed Sweet Iron bit featuring a Front Lock system. This means that the bit has a sweet taste to make the horse seek more contact with the bit, and when you have a good contact in the reins, the bit locks like a straight bit. This will help your horse to keep the consistent contact if it struggles to trust the bit.

Martin offers outstanding stability and comfort. When the horse is working, the Front lock is there to assist, whatever the positioning of the head. From a low position (stretching out) or higher (over a jump), the closure continues to work even if the reins pull the bit upwards; making the bit turn downwards – this is where a regular lockup system would fail. It also makes it considerably more forgiving against any unexpected movements of your hands.

Martin is also an ideal bit to alternative regularly with other bits to vary the pressure points ensuring a more consistent, focused communication.

The Fager Martin FL Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer Bit is ideal for horses that:

• Doesn’t instinctively seek out the contact.
• Constantly drops behind the bit.
• Worried in the mouth.
• Needs to lay more on the bit.
• Frantically chew on the bit.

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. This encourages 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.

Bevel

Baby Fulmer is a registered design by Fager. This sidepiece will give you a mix between the loose and fixed rings. The Fulmers will lay close to the horse’s side, helps with steering, and keep the mouthpiece steady. The loose rings are placed further away from the mouth corners, and this will put the pressure further down and inwards, encourage the horse to lift in the front, come back to your hand, and avoid a stiff feeling towards the bit. It is a very comfortable choice for many horses and a great start for a youngster.

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