What makes Fager bits unique?
Why Fager Bits Are the New Standard for Comfort & Performance 🐴✨
1. ✅ Innovative materials such as titanium and Sweet Iron
Fager uses lightweight, strong and hypoallergenic materials such as Titanium, Sweet Iron and the exclusive Sweet Gold™. These materials are not only safe for sensitive horses, but also promote salivation and relaxation in the mouth.
Titanium feels warm in the mouth, does not rust and is antibacterial. Ideal for sensitive or fussy horses.
2. ✅ Anatomical fit & balance.
Fager bits are anatomically shaped and perfectly balanced. Each mouthpiece follows the natural contours of the horse's mouth, allowing the bit to lie quieter, distribute pressure better, and eliminate unnecessary stimuli.
Result? Less resistance, more relaxation, and a better connection with your hand.
3. ✅ Double and single broken variants with smart systems.
At Fager, no standard constructions. Consider:
- FSS™ (Fager Smart System): an innovative system that prevents the nutcracker effect in single-broken bits.
- Front Lock: extra stability and control, perfect for horses that release or lean against the bit quickly.
- Bar relief designs: relieve sensitive corners of the mouth or tongue in horses with specific needs.
4. ✅ Bits for every type of horse.
Whether you are training a:
- young horse training,
- a sensitive mare,
- riding a strong horse that sticks to the bit,
- or just looking for more refinement and communication....
There is always a Fager model to suit you and your horse. Consider popular models such as:
- Carl - ideal for sensitive horses with thick tongues
- Axel - with Sweet Gold™ for horses that have difficulty accepting contact
- Jenny or Julia - for horses that feel stiff but are sensitive to pressure
Titanium
Lightweight & Hypoallergenic
Titanium is Fager's flagship product: extremely light, strong, antibacterial and particularly suitable for sensitive horses. It stimulates saliva production and has a warm touch.
Advantages:
- Ultra-light (ideal for young or sensitive horses).
- No oxidation or rust
- Hypoallergenic and antibacterial
- Very comfortable with prolonged use
Sweet Iron
Sweet taste & stimulates saliva production
Sweet Iron is perfect for horses that have difficulty making contact or are nervous in the mouth. Oxidation creates a natural, sweet taste that encourages the horse to accept the bit.
Benefits:
- Stimulates saliva production
- Sweet taste that makes the bit more palatable
- Is often more readily accepted by picky horses
- Rusts slightly - this is normal and desirable with this material
Sweet Gold
Een zachtere twist op Sweet Iron
Sweet Gold is Fager's exclusive alloy, with copper incorporated into the bit for even more flavor and saliva production. The material is slightly softer, which can give bite marks faster in chewy horses - so choose deliberately.
Benefits:
- Super pleasant taste (ideal for reluctant horses).
- Incentive for a quieter, more stable touch
- Ideal for young or inexperienced horses
Stainless Steel (SS)
Solid & affordable
Bits from this line are made of high-quality stainless steel and fall under Fager's Basic Collection. They are strong, durable and affordable without sacrificing comfort or functionality.
Benefits:
- Sturdy and easy-care
- Budget-friendly
- Excellent choice for everyday training
