Fager bits - Gustav - Sweet Iron - Fixed ring

Fager Gustav is the perfect choice for sensitive horses whose mouths are prone to cuts, wounds, or chafing. The bit naturally molds around the tongue and relieves the interdental space from constant pressure. The very smooth joints do not press against the palate, so the "nutcracker" effect does not occur.

The fixed D-ring provides stability, straightness, and helps to turn horses that are difficult to steer.

Gustav can be used in two ways:

1. For tongue space – a horse that:

• Resists contact

• Pulls on the reins or raises its head when taking contact

• Puts its tongue over the bit

• Is restless in the mouth

2. To relieve pressure on the interdental space – a horse that:

• Is uneven in contact

• Is stiff when ridden

• Chews the bit or pulls against contact

• Does not seek contact with the bit

• Drops contact or gets behind the hand

👉 Gustav offers comfort, ergonomics, and controlled contact for a sensitive-mouthed horse – the perfect choice for achieving a more relaxed and consistent rein contact.
