Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
The Fager Maja Titanium Fixed Ring Bit is ideal for horses with delicate mouth areas that are prone to pulling or overreacting to pressure. Featuring a barrel tube that will naturally lock in any direction when pressure is applied. This design is suitable for horses who are unsteady in the bridle and keep them from becoming heavy against the bit. It is also a great option for horses that have low palates with larger tongues, leaving them with limited space to comfortably carry a bit. The Maja is the Dressage Legal Version of the Carl!
The Maja is made with titanium which is lightweight and ideal for sensitive mouthed horses. This can help tense-type horses relax into the contact consistently. The mouthpiece is designed to follow the natural contour of the mouth with a centerpiece that lays flat across the tongue to eliminate palate interference. This creates a steady contact surface that is comfortable yet stable. Fixed rings add stability across the tongue for a more steady connection.
