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.
Are you struggling to find a bit that your horses are comfortable in? Then the Fager Maria Titanium Hunter Dee Ring Bit is the bit you have been looking for! This bit is designed to address many issues that, when solved, will enhance the communication between you and your horse. Even the most sensitive of horses are safe from developing sores or cuts. With the correct balance point in all Fager bits, you get stability and effective clear communication for the horse. Crafted with perfectly smooth surfaces that are contoured to your horse's mouth and tongue, as well as uniquely designed joints, ensure this bit never presses against the palate or creates uneven pressure on the bars. The Dee rings keep the bit steady, preventing unwanted sliding while the straight sides aid in precise steering and framing. Additionally, the titanium mouthpiece is a lightweight, tasteless, corrosion-resistant metal and adapts to the temperature of the mouth, helping the horse to accept the bit and be more comfortable and relaxed.
