Owen Sweet Gold Baby fulmer - Fager

Our expert's opinion

The Owen bit is a straight bit with a slight anatomical curve. It offers stability and serenity to the horse because of the constant position of the barrel in the mouth. The straight bit allows a symmetrical left/right contact of the hand action on the horse's mouth. This reduces the pressure through a better distribution of the pressure. This is why some riders use it as soon as they break-in. The advanced tongue passage allows more comfort for the horse as it frees up space for the tongue and allows pressure to be exerted more simultaneously on the bars, commissures and tongue. The loose rings offer a soft contact to the mouth. They allow for a slight indirect contact compared to fixed rings, making it easier to play in the fingers and limiting excessive tension. The alloy helps the horse to relax and accept the bit. It is therefore interesting for a horse that has difficulty settling on the bit and/or a sensitive horse that may have a tendency to stick out its tongue.Function: The Sweet Gold™ Bit functions by providing a comfortable and enticing experience for the horse, encouraging them to maintain consistent contact with the rider's hand. The sweet taste of the bit helps the horse relax and accept the contact, while the design and angle of the shape ensure maximum comfort, even for young or sensitive horses. By promoting a steady and forward connection, this bit empowers riders to achieve a more consistent and responsive ride.Baby Fulmer is a registered design by Fager. This sidepiece will give you a mix between the loose and fixed rings. The Fulmers will lay close to the horse's side, helps with steering, and keep the mouthpiece steady. The loose rings are placed further away from the mouth corners, and this will put the pressure further down and inwards, encourage the horse to lift in the front, come back to your hand, and avoid a stiff feeling towards the bit. It is a very comfortable choice for many horses and a great start for a youngster.
