Niklas Sweet Iron Barrel Dee rings

Fager Niklas is a stable barrelled sweet-tasting bit with bar relief.
This bit is a good choice for horses that can get too stiff on a traditional straight bit, but are too worried/unstable in a jointed bit. It's also a good choice for horses who need a stable bit to seek a stable contact with.

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.

Dee rings
Dee rings are attached to the mouthpiece, and the reins’ contact will be more still towards the mouth. Dee rings will encourage a horse to keep the contact towards the bit and create a stable feeling for both the horse and rider.
The Dee rings make the bit lay still in the mouth and prevent the bit from sliding side to side. The straight sides help with steering and framing.
