Experience the benefits of Fager's Sweet gold bits:
Introducing Fager's latest innovation: the Sweet Gold™ Bit. Crafted to address common challenges faced by riders with horses unsteady in the contact, prone to dropping the bit, or lacking in their instinct to seek out contact, this bit offers a solution for enhanced connection and performance.
Benefits:
* Establishes a deeper and more connected contact between horse and rider.
* Encourages the horse to hold onto the bit with its sweet taste, promoting relaxation and acceptance.
* Features smooth joints and a wider part over the tongue for unparalleled comfort inside the horse's mouth.
* Suitable even for young horses due to its comfortable design and gentle stimulation.
Function: The Sweet Gold™ Bit functions by providing a comfortable and enticing experience for the horse, encouraging them to maintain consistent contact with the rider's hand. The sweet taste of the bit helps the horse relax and accept the contact, while the smooth joints and wider tongue area ensure maximum comfort, even for young or sensitive horses. By promoting a steady and forward connection, this bit empowers riders to achieve a more consistent and responsive ride.
The sweet gold material contains copper which makes the material a bit softer. If you have a horse that tends to chew a lot on the bit, this may cause bite marks on the surface.
More about the mouthpiece
The fixed gag cheekpiece is designed to give the rider a clearer and more lifting rein aid. Unlike a loose ring gag, the fixed side helps keep the bit more stable in the horse’s mouth and gives a more direct feeling in the contact.
When the rider takes the rein, the gag action creates pressure that lifts the bit slightly in the corners of the horse’s mouth while also applying some pressure over the poll. This encourages the horse to lift the front end, rebalance, and become lighter in the hand. The fixed side also helps with turning and gives extra support, as the cheekpiece sits more steadily against the side of the horse’s face.
This type of cheekpiece can be useful for horses that become strong, lean on the hand, or need more help staying balanced, especially in jumping or faster work. As with all gag bits, it should be used with a soft, educated hand and a clear release when the horse responds.
We recommend always using a gag bit with 2 reins, one attached to the snaffle ring and one attached to the gag rein.
More about the fixed gag
A fixed ring bit should sit close to the horse’s mouth, without causing pressure on the teeth or lips.
The mouthpiece should not be visible between the rings and mouth corner.
If the bit is too long, it can cause discomfort and injuries.
