Fager Andrea Soft Rubber bit Fixed rings

Andrea Soft Rubber Bit – Fixed Rings

Refined softness with consistent connection

The Andrea Soft Rubber Bit with fixed rings combines the soft feel of rubber with the stability of fixed rings. This bit is specially designed to provide comfortable, even pressure in the mouth without unnecessary movement—ideal for horses that benefit from both calmness and clarity.

What makes this bit special?

✅ TPU / soft rubber-like material
The mouthpiece is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which approaches the flexibility and softness of rubber, but with added durability.

✅ Fixed rings for stability
Because the rings are fixed, the bit doesn't rotate or slide in the mouth. This ensures consistent contact and prevents irritation from looseness.

✅ Small tongue recess
A subtle space has been left for the tongue, so that pressure on the tongue is limited, while still allowing contact with the layers and cheek edges.

✅ Two hardnesses and multiple thicknesses

• Soft (light green) — extra mild for sensitive horses

• Hard (dark green) — slightly firmer, for horses that can handle more subtle aids
  You can also choose between different mouthpiece thicknesses (e.g. 16 mm or 20 mm) to better fit your horse's mouth.

When is this bit useful?

This bit is ideal for:

• Horses that react sensitively to rotating movements in the mouth

• Animals that need rest during contact

• Horses that have difficulty with varying pressure

• Riders who strive for refined aids in a stable line
