Oscar FL Titanium Loose rings

Fager Oscar is a double-jointed Titanium bit featuring a Front Lock system. This means that the bit is lightweight enough to make the horse light in the hand, and when you have good contact in the reins, the bit locks like a straight bit. This will help your horse to maintain consistent contact if it struggles to trust the bit.

Oscar offers outstanding stability and comfort. When the horse is working, the Front lock is there to assist, whatever the positioning of the head. From a low position (stretching out) or higher (over a jump), the closure continues to work even if the reins pull the bit upwards, making the bit turn downwards – this is where a regular lockup system would fail. It also makes it considerably more forgiving against any unexpected movements of your hands.

Oscar is also an ideal bit to alternate regularly with other bits to vary the pressure points, ensuring a more consistent, focused communication.

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.

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.
