Fager Nils Sweet Iron Baucher

Nils is a stable barrel sweet taste bit.

The barrel tube has a natural fast lock in any direction. A steady model for horses who needs to seek more contact without getting too stiff. A very comfortable bit that shapes naturally over the tongue.

 

Product Code: NILSBA

£84.00

Fager Nils is suitable for horses that you would describe as some of the following:

  • Sensitive tongue, pulls the reins and opens the mouth.
  • Unsteady in the connection, needs a more stable contact.
  • Feels stiff in a straight bit but unstable in a jointed bit.
  • Doesn’t instinctively seek out the contact.
Fager Nils is a stable barrelled sweet tasting bit with a tongue relief. The barrelled tube mouthpiece creates a fast, natural lock in all direction like a straight bit, but can still rotate. This makes the bit a good choice for horses who can get worried in the mouth and unstable in the contact on a jointed bit, but still too stiff on a straight bit.

The tongue relief will create less pressure on the tongue, which suits horses with a large, sensitive tongue.

Material
Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. The purpose is to disguise the metal taste from stainless steel and create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging the horse to seek more contact and hold on to the bit. Following use, sweet iron will start to oxidize and turn brownish grey, this is to be expected.

Sweet iron is a good choice for horses who need to seek more contact with the bit.

Baucher
Baucher gives a stable, framed feeling. This sidepiece is designed to keep the mouthpiece steady. Baucher is to prefer if you have problems with wounds in the corners of the mouth or wears on the premolars (P2). The Baucher will reveal these places from constant pressure and help the horse to relax and come down/forward to the bit, keeping the horse stable and framed.

Please note, horses who are wide over the premolars/teeth may need to size up in this bit due to the upper shanks. This is because the sidepiece of the bridle is attached to the upper shank of the bit, which is placed higher up where some horses are wider than others.
