Fager Bits

Fager Horse Bits are internationally recognised for their innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, and commitment to equine comfort and performance. Developed with a deep understanding of horse anatomy, biomechanics, and behaviour, Fager bits aim to provide clear communication between horse and rider while minimizing discomfort, tension, or interference with natural movement.

 

Each Fager bit is meticulously engineered to distribute pressure evenly across the tongue, bars, and palate, reducing the risk of pinching or uneven pressure commonly seen with traditional bits. 

 

Their unique designs ensure optimal tongue space and bar alignment, allowing the hyoid apparatus, jaw, and poll to function naturally. This encourages freer head and neck carriage, promotes relaxation through the topline, and improves balance, suppleness, and rhythm during ridden work.

 

Fager bits also consider the position of sensitive cranial nerves, including the facial, glossopharyngeal, hypoglossal, and vagus nerves, to reduce irritation and tension. By minimizing compression in these areas, Fager bits help prevent common resistance behaviours such as head tossing, gaping, tongue evasions, or jaw tension, while promoting steady contact, better responsiveness, and increased willingness in the horse.

 

Available in a wide range of designs—including single-jointed snaffles, double-jointed snaffles, mullen mouth, and ported or leverage bits—Fager caters to horses with differing mouth shapes, sensitivities, and training requirements. Many of their designs are also adaptable for horses with dental or anatomical challenges, such as high palates, thick tongues, or strong jaw muscles.

 

Crafted from high-quality materials with precise attention to detail, Fager bits combine durability, elegance, and comfort. They reflect decades of research and feedback from riders, trainers, and veterinarians, ensuring a design that is both functional and humane.

 

By focusing on equine anatomy, biomechanics, and rider communication, Fager Horse Bits provide a modern, evidence-based solution for horses of all disciplines. They are designed not just for control, but to enhance the horse’s comfort, relaxation, and performance—helping them move freely, respond willingly, and achieve their best potential.
