John Sweet Iron Loose ring - Fager

John is a sweet-tasting, double-jointed Snaffle with bar relief. The design is simple, unique and designed with the horse’s ultimate comfort in mind. Combined with the sweet taste material, the horse will seek more contact with the hand and be less overreactive when you take the reins, keeping a more consistent contact.

The joints are specifically designed to give a much more gentle pressure on the tongue, making John an extremely comfortable bit. The mouthpiece naturally conforms to the shape of the tongue whilst relieving the bars from constant pressure.

Loose Rings are designed to move independently to the mouthpiece. This allows the horse more freedom to use his tongue, allowing them to place the pressure from the mouthpiece either higher or lower, whichever they prefer. Loose Rings are a good choice for a horse that can be slightly stiff or hard in the mouth.

If you prefer a thinner bit, we recommend the bradoon version Oliver instead, which has a 12 mm thickness. The design is the same, but the mouthpiece is slimmer and the bit rings are slightly smaller in diameter.
