Fager Gustav Sweet Iron – Fixed Rings
Two functions, one revolutionary bit – adapted to your horse
The Fager Gustav bit is a technical masterpiece that fully adapts to the needs of your horse. Thanks to its innovative design, this bit can be used in two ways:
→ For tongue stool
→ For bar relief
By simply flipping the bit, you can determine the type of pressure distribution — ideal for horses with specific sensitivities or changing preferences.
1. Use for tongue relief
Perfect for horses that:
✔ Being inconsistent in the connection
✔ Trying to put the tongue over the bit
✔ Pull away or raise on contact
✔ Having a sensitive, troubled mouth
This position gives the tongue space and stimulates relaxation.
2. For bar relief, use (flip the bit)
Ideal for horses that:
✔ Get behind the bit
✔ Not wanting to work towards the hand
✔ Drop the ignition
✔ Stubborn or stiff to the touch
✔ Biting or withdrawing the bit
This position relieves pressure on the tongue and provides a more consistent feel across the bars.
✅ Main features:
