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 Maria Titanium Double Jointed Loose Ring Bit by Fager is an incredibly comfortable bit featuring 100% super-smooth surfaces, including the joints. The joints are designed to never press into the palate or create uneven pressure over the bars of the mouth. The anatomical shape naturally contours around the tongue, therefore relieving the bars from constant pressure. The Maria is made with Fager's Anoblast manufacturing technique which produces a high-quality, extremely durable bit. The mouthpiece is designed with a horizontally straight construction, which allows it to have the correct balance point and therefore allows your aids to be more effective.
