Fager Mats Sweet Iron

Fager Mats Sweet Iron – Double Jointed Bit

The Fager Mats Sweet Iron – Double Jointed Bit is designed for horses that struggle with contact: sensitive, inconsistent in the contact, nervous chewing, or heavy in the hand. This bit is based on the popular Fager Claudia model, but is fully dressage-approved , and offers an exceptionally comfortable fit for horses with a low palate, wide tongue, or complex mouth anatomy .

The anatomically double-jointed design allows the bit to break outward , away from the sensitive tongue, resulting in a more even and gentler pressure distribution. Combined with the Sweet Iron material , which stimulates saliva production and promotes a smoother contact, Mats is a favorite among riders looking to restore harmony and stability.
