Fager Niklas is a stable barrelled sweet tasting bit with bar relief.
The barrelled tube mouthpiece creates a fast, natural lock in any direction making Niklas an ideal solution to use with horses who need encouragement to actively seek more contact, and get a stable feeling without getting stiff like on a straight bit.
The Niklas design is well suited to horses who have wear on the teeth and need a bit that protects the teeth. It's also very gentle to the bars.
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.
