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.

Dee rings
Dee rings are attached to the mouthpiece, and the reins’ contact will be more still towards the mouth. Dee rings will encourage a horse to keep the contact towards the bit and create a stable feeling for both the horse and rider. The Dee rings make the bit lay still in the mouth and prevent the bit from sliding side to side. The straight sides help with steering and framing.
