Fager Maria has everything you could want from a bit! It is incredibly comfortable, featuring 100% super-smooth surfaces, including the joints. Combined with the titanium material, this gives you a consistent feeling in the hand without the horse overreacting when you take the reins, but still offers a light feeling.

Fager's smooth joints are designed to never press against the sides of the palate or create uneven pressure over the bars. It makes the pressure over the tongue more gentle.

The small tongue relief, in combination with the smooth joints, makes this bit a good option for horses with a sensitive tongue who can open their mouth, pull the reins, and move the tongue around.

Material
Titanium is a tasteless metal that naturally adapts to the mouth's temperature, encouraging the horse to accept the bit and be more comfortable.

We usually recommend a Titanium bit for sensitive-mouthed horses who can react to other metals, e.g. red marks or sores developing, despite a soft contact from the hands.

Titanium gives a super light feeling in the hand and quicker response compared to a heavier bit, particularly when combined with the correct mouthpiece for the individual horse.

Baucher
Baucher gives a stable, framed feeling. This sidepiece is designed to keep the mouthpiece steady. Baucher is to prefer if you have problems with wounds in the corners of the mouth or wears on the premolars (P2). The Baucher will reveal these places from constant pressure and help the horse to relax and come down/forward to the bit, keeping the horse stable and framed.

Please note, horses who are wide over the premolars/teeth may need to size up in this bit due to the upper shanks. This is because the sidepiece of the bridle is attached to the upper shank of the bit, which is placed higher up where some horses are wider than others.
