MATTIAS SWEET IRON BABY FULMER
Dette er hva Fager skriver om bittet:
(beklager foreløbig engelsk tekst)
Fager Mattias is a good choice for horses who you would describe as the following:
- Can be worried in the mouth but get too stiff on straight bits
- Reluctant to soften down into the bit.
- Requires encouragement to seek out the contact and keep a consistent contact.
- Can overreact when you take the reins
- Can get on and off in the contact
Mattias is a double-jointed sweet iron bit with a special lockup function. The mouthpiece has a tongue relief but locks upwards, which can be good for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars who still prefers a tongue relief.
The bit doesn't lock forward like a normal lockup bit, which means that you won't get the stiff feeling of a straight bit.
The joints are rotated away from the tongue, which gives a more gentle, smooth pressure on the tongue. This can be good for horses that can overreact when you take the reins and need to keep the consistent contact through every movement. The sweet taste together with the stability makes the horse seek a stable contact with the bit.
Baby Fulmer is a registered design by Fager. This sidepiece will give you a mix between the loose and fixed rings. The Fulmers will lay close to the horse’s side, helps with steering, and keep the mouthpiece steady. The loose rings are placed further away from the mouth corners, and this will put the pressure further down and inwards, encourage the horse to lift in the front, come back to your hand, and avoid a stiff feeling towards the bit. It is a very comfortable choice for many horses and a great start for a youngster.
As an added benefit, the straight and thin design enhances the rider’s aids to be more effective, direct and precise than ever before.
