Fager Mattias

Fager Mattias Sweet Iron

Fager Mattias is an ideal choice if you would describe your horse as:

• Struggles to maintain consistent contact.
  
• Goes behind the vertical or avoids contact with the bit.
  
• Does not naturally seek enough contact with the rider's hand.
  
• Needs to develop more confidence and relaxation in the contact.
  
• Is young or sensitive and benefits from a comfortable mouthpiece.

Fager Mattias is a double-jointed Sweet Iron bit with tongue relief and a specially designed locking mechanism. The mouthpiece locks during upward movement, making it a suitable option for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars that still benefit from tongue relief.

Unlike a traditional locking bit, Mattias does not lock in the forward direction. This allows the mouthpiece to retain more freedom of movement without creating the same rigid feel as a solid mouthpiece.

The joints are angled away from the tongue, allowing pressure to be distributed more evenly and gently across the tongue. This may benefit horses that react strongly when the reins are taken up or struggle to maintain consistent contact.

The tongue relief also makes Mattias suitable for horses with large or sensitive tongues that tend to open their mouths, pull against the reins or move their tongues frequently.

Mattias has a mouthpiece thickness of 14 mm and 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.
