The joints on Tilde are tilted 45 degrees and can be used in 2 ways:
With the horse logo on the right side running forward, the joints will give some more pressure on the tongue when you take the reins, but also more relief when you give the reins. This can be good for horses that are sensitive but where you want a quicker reaction.
With the horse logo upside down on the left side running forward, the joints will follow the tongue to make the pressure in the tongue more gentle. This can be good for sensitive horses who need clear but gentle signals.

The lightweight, straight design helps to promote more precise and direct communication down the reins.
At Fager we design our bits to always sit horizontally straight, there is never a bigger bend forward.

When a bit creates a bigger bend forward, it also moves the BP forward, detrimentally reducing the effectiveness of the aids
