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.
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. When using a gag rein through the rings, we recommend using a second rein connected to the snaffle ring as well.
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.
NOTE! The leather material is not suitable for horses that chew a lot on the bit. The bit is therefore not covered by warranty or right of complaint if the damage has occurred due to the horse biting the bit.
