Gabriel Sweet iron Fixed Rings ball double jointed - Fager

The Fager Gabriel Eggbutt Bit is designed for strong horses that lean on the rider's hand, fluctuate in the contact or remain unresponsive despite being sensitive to the aids. It promotes a steadier connection while encouraging a lighter feel.

Its double-jointed mouthpiece features a large centre piece positioned lower than the joints, creating tongue relief when at rest. As the horse leans, the design increases point pressure on the tongue, encouraging a quicker response without constant pressure.

Made from Sweet Iron over a stainless steel core, the mouthpiece gradually develops a surface oxidation with a sweet taste that encourages salivation and acceptance of the bit.

The fixed eggbutt rings provide excellent stability by reducing movement of the bit in the mouth. This helps horses with inconsistent contact maintain a steadier connection with the rider's hand.

The overall design delivers precise communication while preserving tongue comfort, making it particularly suitable for horses that become heavy in the hand or stiff in conventional double-jointed bits.

Sweet Iron is a coating applied over a stainless steel core. Its naturally sweet taste encourages salivation, improves bit acceptance and helps the horse seek a steadier contact. With use, the surface naturally oxidises and develops a brownish-grey colour, which is completely normal.
