Felix Sweet iron FSS™ Loose ring

Anatomically designed for comfort, Felix is a sweet-tasting single-jointed bit with our unique Fager Smart System—FSS™. This innovative system locks the joint in any direction to avoid any interference with the palate, thus avoiding the ‘nutcracker’ effect.

Felix's design is curved to create room and allow freedom for the tongue. A horse with a sensitive tongue often opens their mouth, pulls the reins down/forward, and moves the tongue around.

Material
Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. The purpose is to disguise the metal taste from stainless steel and create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging the horse to seek more contact and hold on to the bit. Following use, sweet iron will start to oxidize and turn brownish grey, this is to be expected.

Sweet iron is a good choice for horses who need to seek more contact with the bit.

Loose rings
Loose Rings are designed to move independently to the mouthpiece. This allows the horse more freedom to use his tongue, allowing them to place the pressure from the mouthpiece either higher or lower, whichever they prefer. Loose Rings are a good choice for a horse that can be slightly stiff or hard in the mouth.
