Gabriel Sweet iron Loose rings ball double jointed - Fager

The Fager Gabriel loose ring bit is designed for strong horses that tend to lean on the bit while remaining sensitive to the rider's aids. It is also well suited to horses with inconsistent contact or those that become heavy in traditional double-jointed bits.

Its double-jointed mouthpiece creates extra tongue room, reducing constant tongue pressure. The large centre piece sits lower than the joints and applies more focused tongue pressure only when the horse leans on the bit, encouraging a lighter and quicker response.

The Sweet Iron coating naturally oxidises over time, creating a pleasant taste that many horses enjoy. It promotes salivation and encourages the horse to seek a steadier and more confident contact.

The loose rings allow greater freedom of movement, encouraging relaxation and a softer, more elastic connection. They also enable the horse to follow the rider's hands more naturally while maintaining precise communication.

The combination of the specialised mouthpiece and loose rings helps discourage excessive leaning while promoting a lighter, more consistent connection.

Sweet Iron is a coating applied over a stainless steel core. As it naturally oxidises through use and moisture, it develops its characteristic brownish-grey colour and a mildly sweet taste that promotes salivation and encourages the horse to seek a steadier contact with the bit.
