Fager bits - Oliver - Sweet Iron - Double-jointed - Bridoon - Loose ring

Fager Oliver is a double-jointed sweet iron bit made from a grey sweet iron coating. Sweet iron is very useful when you want to encourage young or unbalanced horses to accept the bit better and carry it more calmly in their mouths.

Fager Oliver is suitable if you would describe your horse as follows;

• Pulls against the contact, but still responds to increased pressure.
• Unstable in contact.
• Easily develops sores and cuts.
• Does not instinctively seek contact.

The fine quality construction creates a 100% smooth surface throughout the biting area, including ingeniously designed joints that are positioned so that they never press against the palate or rest uncomfortably on the sides of the mouthpiece. The design of Oliver offers a very comfortable bit that conforms to the natural contours of the tongue.

Increased stability and more direct communication

Fager designs bits so that they maintain the correct balance point (BP) in the mouth. Other bit structures create a larger bend forward, causing the BP to shift forward and reducing the effectiveness of the aids.

The Oliver design is well-suited for horses with sensitive mouths that easily get cuts or rubs, as well as for all sensitive horses that are not "super" with a normal thicker three-piece bit.
