Fager bits - John - Sweet Iron - Kimblehook

Stability and softness for the sensitive but strong horse

Fager John is the perfect choice if your horse combines these characteristics:

✔ Is sensitive and appreciates smooth, discreet joint surfaces in a three-piece bit

✔ You want a simple, soft mouthpiece for use with a leverage effect

✔ Is both strong and sensitive at the same time

✔ Needs more stability, steerability and seeking the bit, as well as softening of the neck

The Fager John is a three-piece Kimblehook bit with soft, smooth central joint articulations, and excellent discreet design for the horse. It is designed for horses that need clear but gentle guidance and softness combined with leverage.

🟢 100% smooth joints – no pressure on the palate or teeth
🟢 Light tongue space – a comfortable choice for sensitive mouths and horses that avoid the bit
🟢 Stable feel – The Kimblehook design supports horses that need help to better seek the contact on obstacles
🟢 Sweet-tasting Sweet Iron material – encourages the horse to take and maintain contact

Function:
The Kimblehook bit provides stability in the reins and the ability to adjust the leverage effect as needed. When used in the lower ring, pressure is distributed to the corners of the mouth, jaw, and poll – particularly beneficial for horses that raise their head or are unbalanced. Fager's mouthpiece design ensures that the bit does not press uncomfortably on sensitive parts of the mouth but follows the natural shape of the tongue.

✔ Includes curb chain and hooks
✔ Sweet Iron oxidizes with use – this is normal and enhances the taste; remember to dry the bit after use to keep it cleaner longer
✔ Suitable for horses that require a stable but gentle touch
✔ An excellent choice when more control is desired for sensitive contact

✔ Thickness 14mm, approx. 12mm in the middle

💡 Size tip: If your horse is wide at the molars, choose one size larger than normal – the upper shank of the Kimblehook comes up high, where more width is needed.
