Fager Angelica is a good choice for horses who you would describe as the following;
Unhappy in the bit you currently use
Reluctant to soften down into the bit
Gets stiff and heavy in the hand, but still not strong
Angelicas anatomically shaped mouthpiece features a 45° twisted French Link, designed to follow the natural contours of the tongue.
This center piece works well on a horse who pushes their tongue against the bit in an attempt to evade the contact and take control.
When taking up the reins, Angelicas creates both bar and tongue pressure, encouraging the horse to respond whilst creating a lighter feeling in the hand. A Beval bit has a similar effect to a 2½ & 3 Ring Snaffle, but has a softer effect and less leverage. Gives a flexible, soft feeling in the hand.This bit can be used with the reins in multiple positions depending on what effect you'd like from the bit. It can also be used with a gag rein thanks to the special design with bent loop rings on the inside. The gag rein can slide smoothly in the loop rings.
