Fager Charles is recommended if you would describe your horse as the following:
Charles mouthpiece incorporates a comfortable, wide-ported Weymouth bit in grey Sweet Iron. The port is designed to be bent with a 45° angle over the tongue, which allows the tongue additional space and freedom, encouraging the horse to work forward and down into the contact. When you take the reins, the angle of the mouthpiece allows the port to tilt over the tongue throughout the whole movement of the bit, offering maximum tongue relief.
A Weymouth with a wide port, also called a U-shaped port, gives tongue relief with smooth pressure divided evenly over the mouth. This will give you more consistent contact and can be suitable for horses who can overreact when you take the reins. Suitable for horses who can fall behind the bit or show discomfort with their bit.
The Sweet Iron is used to encourage the horse to accept the bit and carry it correctly in the mouth.
Charles is suitable for horses with a big, overly sensitive tongue.
The chain is a key feature which acts to distribute the pressure between the mouth poll and chin.
Hooks and chain are included.
More about the mouthpiece
A shorter shank, 5cm, will give the rider a more uplifting effect. The shorter shank is suitable for horses who need to loosen up through the shoulders and come up in front. The shorter the shank; the easier it is to create bend and flexion.
A longer shank, 7cm, encourages the horse to follow the bit's contact forward and down. This is good for horses who can get high in the neck and strong.
More about the weymouth shanks
We recommend choosing the Bradoon in the horse’s usual snaffle size and the Weymouth one size bigger.
The jointed Bradoon should not be too large, as it may slide sideways and cause rubbing, pressure or injury. The Weymouth sits outside the Bradoon and needs extra space so the bits do not interfere.
