Fager Nils Sweet Iron Barrel Bit – Fixed Rings
For sensitive horses that need stability and comfort
The Fager Nils is the ideal choice for horses that are inconsistent in contact, react sensitively to pressure, or have difficulty finding a stable connection with the hand.
Ideal if your horse:
✔ Pulls on the bit, yet is hypersensitive to pressure
✔ Has difficulty with standard straight bits
✔ Don't naturally seek contact
✔ Has sensitive corners of the mouth or tongue and develops wounds easily
Why Fager Nils is special:
Stable barrel design – The special barrel mouthpiece provides natural, fast locking in all directions. This makes the bit extremely stable and less confusing for the horse.
Sweet Iron taste – Promotes saliva production and relaxation in the mouth, making your horse more likely to accept contact and chew on the bit more comfortably.
Perfect Balance – The straight, smart design preserves the balance point (BP). This ensures clear aids and a constant, comfortable position in the mouth.
Gentle on sensitive horses – The smooth surface and tongue-following shape prevent chafing and pressure points, even in the most sensitive horses.
Contest Allowed – Approved for use in official contests.
