The correct size is essential for both comfort and performance in equestrian sports. At Maddelin Equestrian, we are happy to help you choose the right size, so that your equipment fits perfectly - whether it's riding apparel, helmets, boots, or accessories.
A well-fitting outfit not only provides more comfort but also better performance in the saddle. Clothing that is too tight or too loose can restrict your freedom of movement and affect your aids. Therefore, we recommend always measuring accurately and using our size charts as a guide.
Our size charts are organized by product category and brand, allowing you to choose as specifically as possible. Since fits can vary by brand, you will find specific information with each product to guide you.

Product Information
🐴 Fager Mattias Sweet Iron Fixed Rings
The ideal bit for horses with sensitive tongues, sharp edges, or a low palate, who struggle with contact, or tend to become stiff on straight or simple bits. This bit helps to work softer, while maintaining sufficient control and stability thanks to the fixed rings.
💡 Unique features & what they solve
| Problem / Need | How this bit helps |
|---|---|
| Sensitive tongue / sharp edges in the mouth | The double joint is designed so that the joints are away from the tongue, reducing pressure on the tongue. |
| Low palate / little space above the tongue | The bit offers tongue relief, so the bit does not immediately press against the palate. |
| Horse that opens the reins, or goes out of contact | Thanks to the fixed rings, the rein contact remains more stable; the horse is less inclined to "escape" behind the rein. |
| Horse that stiffens on straight bits | Because the bit closes ("lock-up function") when it comes up, but not forward like a regular lock-up bit, you maintain more suppleness than with tight straight pieces. |
| Bit acceptance / contact improvement | The sweet iron material encourages the horse to accept the bit through a pleasant taste; this invites softer, more seeking contact. |
📐 Technical specifications
-
Material: Sweet iron (coating over stainless steel), which shows oxidation over time (light rust/brown-grey sheen) intensifying the taste release.
-
Mouthpiece: Double joint with tongue relief; joints are turned away from the tongue.
-
Ring type: Fixed rings – these are attached to the mouthpiece, causing the bit to move less compared to loose rings, providing more stability.
-
Sizes available: 95 mm, 105 mm, 115 mm, 125 mm, 135 mm, 145 mm (or similar).
-
Thickness: varies by size (thicker in larger sizes) – ensures a proper fit without unnecessary pressure.
-
Weight: depends on size (~170 g for smaller sizes, increasing for larger sizes).
-
Suitability for competition / dressage: often stated as dressage legal by sellers; check local rules if you compete in Belgium/Europe.
