Fager Gustav Sweet Iron Universal*

Gustav has Fager’s patented Baby Fulmer cheeks. They are curved to avoid pressure on the horse’s face. The Baby Fulmers will keep the mouthpiece stable inside the mouth. The endings are kept straight with the same thickness all the way, to keep the rings stable.

Product Code: GustavU

Price range: £79.09 through £85.09

NOTE: Gustav can be used in two ways. With tongue relief, or with bar relief.

With tongue relief – If you would describe your horse as something with the following;

  • Can be on/off in the connection.
  • Pulls away or up when you take the reins.
  • Try to put the tongue over the bit.
  • Fussy mouth

With bar relief- Turn the bit upside down.

If you would describe your horse as something with the following;

  • Can be on/off in the connection.
  • Stiff to ride.
  • Bites on the bit, try to suck it back.
  • Do not seak the contact towards the bit.
  • Drops the bit/Fall behind the hand.

100% super smooth surface even around the joints. The joints will never interfere or push against the palate. A very comfortable bit that shapes naturally around the tongue and reveals the bars from constant pressure. This design is ideal for sensitive horses that easily get wounds.

Gustav has Fager’s patented Baby Fulmer cheeks. They are curved to avoid pressure on the horse’s face. The Baby Fulmers will keep the mouthpiece stable inside the mouth. The endings are kept straight with the same thickness all the way, to keep the rings stable.

We added Universal rings, just for the benefit of deciding the leverage effect day by day.

Reins in the bottom ring = Most leverage + the gag effect of the ring.

Reins in the center ring = Will work as a mix of a Baucher bit and loose rings.

We recommend adding our Secure clasps and chain. Then you can divide the pressure between the poll, chin, and mouth.
