Fager Bits - Marcus - Sweet Iron - Kimblewick

Stability and Tongue Relief for a Sensitive but Strong Horse

Fager Marcus is the perfect choice if your horse combines these characteristics:
✔ Easily pulls on the reins, or raises its head very high with a tongue-pinching three-piece or jointed bit
✔ Opens its mouth / is restless with its tongue
✔ Is both strong and sensitive at the same time
✔ Needs more stability and steerability, as well as seeking contact with the bit and softening at the poll

The Fager Marcus is a three-piece kimblehook bit with softly adapting tongue relief. It is designed for horses that need clear but gentle guidance and space for a sensitive tongue.

🟢 100% smooth joints – no pressure on the palate or teeth
🟢 Light tongue relief – a comfortable choice for sensitive mouths and horses that avoid the bit
🟢 Stable feel – The Kimblehook structure supports horses that need help engaging with the bit better over fences
🟢 Sweet Iron material with a pleasant taste – encourages the horse to take and maintain contact with the bit

Functionality:
The Kimblehook bit provides stability to the reins and allows for the leverage effect to be adjusted as needed. When used in the lower ring, pressure is distributed to the corners of the mouth, the jaw, and the poll – especially beneficial for horses that raise their heads or are unbalanced. Fager's mouthpiece design ensures that the bit does not press uncomfortably on the 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 tidier for longer
✔ Suitable for horses that require a stable but gentle approach
✔ An excellent choice when more control is desired for sensitive contact
✔ Thickness 14mm, approximately 12mm in the middle

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