Nils Sweet iron Barrel Fixed Ring

Fager Nils is a stable barrelled sweet tasting bit with a tongue relief. The barrelled tube mouthpiece creates a fast, natural lock in all direction like a straight bit, but can still rotate. This makes the bit a good choice for horses who can get worried in the mouth and unstable in the contact on a jointed bit, but still too stiff on a straight bit.

The tongue relief will create less pressure on the tongue, which suits horses with a large, sensitive tongue.

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.

Fixed rings
Fixed rings are attached to the mouthpiece, and the reins’ contact will be more still towards the mouth. Fixed rings will encourage a horse to keep the contact towards the bit and create a stable feeling for both the horse and rider.
