Fager Niklas Sweet Iron Barrel Baby Fulmer

Fager Niklas is suitable if you would describe your horse as the following;

• Trows their head, chews on the bit.
• Unsteady in the connection.
• Feels stiff in any standard straight bit.
• Doesn't instinctively seek out the contact.

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.

Niklas is designed to give extra stability in the mouth for more direct, effective communication making it less confusing for horses who don’t instinctively respond to the aids. It works to keep the correct balance point (BP) in the mouth. Bit designs which create a bigger bend forward, also move the BP forward therefore reducing the effectiveness of the aids.

Niklas is the ideal model to combine with your other bits, alternating regularly to vary the pressure points and keep communication direct and focused.

Baby Fulmer is a registered design by Fager. This sidepiece will give you a mix between the loose and fixed rings. The Fulmers will lay close to the horse’s side, helps with steering, and keep the mouthpiece steady. The loose rings are placed further away from the mouth corners, and this will put the pressure further down and inwards, encourage the horse to lift in the front, come back to your hand, and avoid a stiff feeling towards the bit. It is a very comfortable choice for many horses and a great start for a youngster.
