John Sweet Iron Bit Fixed Rings | Fager

Fager John Sweet Iron is the ideal choice if you would describe your horse as follows:

1. Pulling on the bit, but at the same time hypersensitive to increased pressure on the reins.
2. Unstable in the contact.
3. Sensitive to the aids.
4. Needs encouragement to seek contact.

John is a double broken sweet-tasting bit due to the Sweet Iron material which rusts, with the surface designed to be 100% smooth, even around the joints, for the horse’s ultimate comfort.

The joints of the bit are cleverly designed to ensure that they never press against the palate or lie on top of the layers. John is an extremely comfortable bit that fits naturally around the horse’s tongue.

This design is ideal for horses that easily get wounds or bruises in the mouth or on the layers.

At Fager, we design our bits to maintain the balance point (BP) in the mouth. Greater forward curvature also shifts the BP forward, hindering the effectiveness of the aids. The whole design improves stability and provides more effective, less confusing communication for the horse.

Our progressive, compassionate design has also proven to protect layers and gums from cuts and pressure points, even on sensitive horses!
