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 connection?
Sensitive, yet stiff or heavy in the hand?
Does the bit let go easily or chews on it nervously?
Does the bit only accept for short periods of time?
Then Fager Mats is the solution! This bit is the dressage allowed 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 gives off a 'sweet' taste that promotes saliva and increases acceptance
– Ideal for horses that find contact difficult or like to 'drop' the bit
✔️ Double-broken, anatomical design
– Breaks outwards, away from the center of the tongue
– Less pressure on sensitive areas, no palate interference
– Natural, relaxed position on the palate
✔️ Perfect for hard-fitting mouths
– Fits even horses with a large tongue and low palate, a combination that often causes problems with standard bits
– Improves stability and provides a more consistent contact feel
Technical specifications:
• Type: Double-jointed snaffle
• Material: Sweet Iron (oxidizes for more saliva production)
• Shape: Anatomical, tongue-free, suitable for sensitive mouths
• Allowed for dressage: ✅ Yes
Fager Mats is loved by riders who are looking for peace, harmony and performance – even in the most sensitive horses.
Comfort and stability in one elegant design
