Fager's leather bits are highly beneficial for horses that exhibit sensitivity to most bits, dislike metal bits, and can get wear on the teeth. The leather material possesses the ability to adapt to the contour of the horse's mouth, thereby rendering the bit uniquely suited to that particular horse.
With the perfect amount of flexibility and the taste of the leather, horses tend to feel very comfortable and relaxed in the leather bits.
Fager's leather bits are handmade to offer the best quality possible. The leather is stitched by hand around a wire that's covered with nylon. This assures you that in case of an accident, the horse will not get hurt by the wire in the middle. The wire isn't only to keep you and your horse safe, it also keeps the shape of the bit.
The Baby Pelham sidepiece creates a frame feeling for horses who have a tendency to become unstable but still strong. We recommend using the Baby pelham with a delta bridle or two reins, one in the large fixed ring and one in the small ring. With two reins, you can easily regulate how much leverage you want from the bit by shortening, or lengthening, the rein that is attached to the bottom ring. With more leverage, you get a slightly lower neck and more effect, with less leverage you can get the horse a bit higher in the neck with less effect. If you use
Fager’s adjustable delta, you have the same choice without having to use 2 reins. This design acts as a curb version of a Baucher bit.
Fagers leather is vegetable tanned; no harmful chemicals or artificial colors are used.
If the bit gets dry, we recommend soaking it in food-grade paraffin oil. Make sure that the stitching points to the outside of the mouth and not against the mouthcorners.
