Matilda is a lightweight double-jointed bit with a special lockup function. The mouthpiece of Matilda has a tongue relief but locks upwards, which can be good for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars who still has a big tongue and prefers a tongue relief.
£112.00
Fager Matilda is suitable for horses that you would describe as some of the following:
The bit doesn’t lock forward like a normal lockup bit, which means that you won’t get the stiff feeling of a straight bit.
The joints are rotated away from the tongue, which gives a more gentle, smooth pressure on the tongue. This can be good for horses that can overreact when you take the reins and need to keep the consistent contact through every movement. The lightweight material lets you keep a light feeling in the hand.
A bit with tongue relief suits horses with large, sensitive tongues who can open their mouths, pull the reins, and play with their tongues.
