Fager Mats Sweet Iron – Double-Jointed Bit For sensitive horses that need more comfort and clarity. Do you recognize your horse in this? Irregular in the contact? Sensitive, yet stiff or heavy in the hand? Does it easily let go of the bit or chew it nervously? Accepts the bit only for short periods? Then Fager Mats is the solution! This bit is the dressage-legal variant of the popular Fager Claudia bit and was specially designed for the sensitive horse with complex mouth anatomy – for example, a low palate and wide tongue. ✅ Why choose Fager Mats? ✔️ Sweet Iron material – Oxidizes during use and provides a ‘sweet’ taste that promotes salivation and increases acceptance – Ideal for horses that find contact difficult or tend to ‘drop’ the bit ✔️ Double-jointed, anatomical design – Breaks outward, away from the center of the tongue – Less pressure on sensitive areas, no palate interference – Natural, relaxed position in the mouth ✔️ Perfect for difficult-fitting mouths – Fits even horses with a large tongue and low palate, a combination that often causes issues with standard bits – Improves stability and provides a more consistent feeling of contact Technical specifications: • Type: Double-jointed snaffle • Material: Sweet Iron (oxidizes for increased salivation) • Shape: Anatomical, tongue-free, suitable for sensitive mouths • Approved for dressage: ✅ Yes Fager Mats is loved by riders looking for calm, harmony, and performance – even with the most sensitive horses. Comfort and stability in one elegant design. A true recommendation for horses that often “seem to withstand nothing.” Experience the difference. Give your horse the comfort it deserves.
