Fager bits - Carter - Sweet gold - Fixed ring

A sweeter way to improve contact and stability

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

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

🟢 Appealing, sweet taste – encourages the horse to keep the bit in its mouth
🟢 Softer material – contains copper, which makes the bit slightly more flexible
🟢 Anatomic 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 well in place

Function:
The soft and thicker Carter bit provides the horse with a positive and pleasant experience in the mouth. The sweet taste of the bit encourages the horse to seek and maintain contact, which promotes relaxation and acceptance. The large hunter D-rings stabilize the bit and make the rein contact clearer, which helps both young and more experienced horses to focus 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.

✔ Approved for competitions (FEI – check discipline-specific, dressage, eventing, and show jumping are ok)
✔ Also suitable for young or sensitive-mouthed horses
✔ Excellent choice when the goal is a consistent, soft, and confidence-inspiring contact
✔ Thickness 16mm, 14mm in the middle, meaning a slightly thicker, softer contact – the same model is available with a 12mm thickness and large rings under the name Carina
