Fager bits - Axel - Sweet gold - D-ring

A sweeter way to improve contact and stability

Fager's latest innovation, the Sweet Gold™ bit, has been specially developed for horses that:
– avoid contact
– easily drop the bit
– do not naturally seek rein contact

Sweet Gold helps create a deeper connection between rider and horse – more stable and pleasant.

🟢 Attractive, sweet taste – encourages the horse to keep the bit in its mouth
🟢 Softer material – contains copper, which makes the bit slightly more flexible
🟢 Anatomical tongue relief and smooth joints – maximum comfort even for sensitive or young horses
🟢 D-ring – more stable rein contact and better steerability, the bit stays securely in place

Function:
The soft and thicker Axel bit provides the horse with a positive and pleasant experience in the mouth. The sweet taste of the bit encourages the horse to take and maintain contact, promoting relaxation and acceptance. The D-rings stabilize the bit and make rein contact clearer, helping both young and experienced horses to concentrate on their work and position themselves correctly. The frame also helps keep the horse straight and improves turning.

💡 Note! Because the material contains copper and is slightly softer, strong chewing may leave marks on the bit's surface.
