Fager Niklas is suitable for horses that you would describe as some of the following:
The barrelled tube mouthpiece creates a fast, natural lock in any direction, making Niklas an ideal solution for 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.
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.
Baby Pelham
The Baby Pelham sidepiece creates a frame feeling for horses who have a tendency to become unstable but still strong. We recommend using the Baby pelham with a delta bridle or two reins, one in the large fixed ring and one in the small ring. With two reins, you can easily regulate how much leverage you want from the bit by shortening, or lengthening, the rein that is attached to the bottom ring. With more leverage, you get a slightly lower neck and more effect, with less leverage you can get the horse a bit higher in the neck with less effect.
