Albin Sweet Iron double-jointed baucher bit with roller - Fager

The Fager Albin Sweet Iron double-jointed baucher bit with roller is designed for horses with inconsistent contact, those that tend to become stiff on the bit or feel heavy in the rider's hand. It is also suitable for horses that are sensitive to the aids but sometimes lack responsiveness to rein pressure.

Its double-jointed mouthpiece is designed to create more room for the tongue and reduce constant pressure. The small central roller sits slightly lower than the surrounding centre piece, creating a targeted pressure point on the tongue when the horse leans on the bit. This encourages a quicker response and a lighter contact.

The Sweet Iron develops a slightly sweet taste when exposed to moisture, encouraging salivation and bit acceptance. It can help horses that alternate between leaning on the bit and losing contact with the rider's hand.

The baucher cheekpieces keep the mouthpiece stable and reduce unnecessary movement. They help minimise rubbing at the corners of the mouth and repeated contact with the premolars, promoting a more consistent connection.

Sweet Iron: Sweet Iron is a coating applied over a stainless steel base. When exposed to moisture and air, it gradually oxidises and develops a slightly sweet taste that encourages salivation, relaxation and willingness to seek contact. This oxidation causes the mouthpiece to develop a brownish-grey colour, a natural and expected process that does not indicate a defect.
