Overview
The Fager Marcus Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bit is a versatile bit that is crafted with 100% smooth surfaces, including the joints. The Marcus joints are designed to never pass against the side of the palate or create uneven pressure over the bars. The sweet iron material naturally oxidizes and rusts when in use, creating a "sweet taste", which encourages salivation and acceptance. The horizontally straight construction is designed to maintain the correct balance point, therefore allowing your aids to be more effective. The unique Marcus bit promotes the protection of the bars and fleshy parts of the mouth to protect from rubs and sores, even with the most sensitive equines.
