Fager Gustav

Fager Gustav Sweet Iron

Fager Gustav can be used in two ways: to provide tongue relief or to relieve pressure on the bars. Turning the bit upside down changes how the pressure is distributed.

For tongue relief – if you would describe your horse as:

• Struggles to maintain consistent contact and needs encouragement to seek more contact with the bit.
  
• Pulls the reins downwards or forwards when you take up the reins.
  
• Has a sensitive tongue.
  
• Tries to put its tongue over the bit.
  
• Is unsettled in the mouth.

For pressure relief on the bars (turn the bit upside down) – if you would describe your horse as:

• Struggles to maintain consistent contact and needs encouragement to seek more contact with the bit.
  
• Bites down on the bit or tries to pull it backwards.
  
• Raises its head when you take up the reins.
  
• Has sensitive bars and/or a low palate.

Fager Gustav is an anatomically shaped bit with a completely smooth surface, including around the joints. The joints are specially designed to avoid pressure against the palate and provide a comfortable fit in the horse's mouth.

The mouthpiece follows the natural shape of the tongue while reducing constant pressure on the bars. Thanks to its smooth joints, Gustav is a suitable choice for horses that react excessively when the reins are taken up or struggle to maintain consistent contact.

The option to use the bit in two different positions allows the pressure distribution to be adjusted according to the horse's sensitivities and needs.

Gustav is available with a mouthpiece thickness of 14 or 16 mm and has 65 mm rings.

Material:

Sweet Iron is a coating applied to a stainless steel mouthpiece. This coating gives the bit a slightly sweet taste. With use, the Sweet Iron oxidises and gradually develops a brownish-grey colour. This is a normal characteristic of the material.
