The mouthpiece of Matilda has a tongue relief but locks upwards, which can be good for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars who still has a big tongue and prefers a tongue relief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bit doesn't lock forward like a normal lockup bit, which means that you won't get the stiff feeling of a straight bit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe joints are rotated away from the tongue, which gives a more gentle, smooth pressure on the tongue. This can be good for horses that can overreact when you take the reins and need to keep the consistent contact through every movement. The lightweight material lets you keep a light feeling in the hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA bit with tongue relief suits horses with large, sensitive tongues who can open their mouths, pull the reins, and play with their tongues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitanium is a tasteless metal that naturally adapts to the mouth's temperature, encouraging the horse to accept the bit and be more comfortable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe usually recommend a Titanium bit for sensitive-mouthed horses who can react to other metals, e.g. red marks or sores developing, despite a soft contact from the hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitanium gives a super light feeling in the hand and quicker response compared to a heavier bit, particularly when combined with the correct mouthpiece for the individual horse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaby Fulmer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaby Fulmer is a registered design by Fager. This sidepiece will give you a mix between the loose and fixed rings. The Fulmers will lay close to the horse’s side, helps with steering, and keep the mouthpiece steady. The loose rings are placed further away from the mouth corners, and this will put the pressure further down and inwards, encourage the horse to lift in the front, come back to your hand, and avoid a stiff feeling towards the bit. It is a very comfortable choice for many horses and a great start for a youngster.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fager Bits","offers":[{"title":"105MM \/ 4 1\/4\"","offer_id":47716526653652,"sku":"MATILDA105BF","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115MM \/ 4 1\/2\"","offer_id":47716526686420,"sku":"MATILDA115BF","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125MM \/ 5\"","offer_id":47716526719188,"sku":"MATILDA125BF","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"135MM \/ 5 1\/4\"","offer_id":47716526751956,"sku":"MATILDA135BF","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"145MM \/ 5 3\/4\"","offer_id":47716526784724,"sku":"MATILDA145BF","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/1273\/8199\/files\/Babyfulmer_6.jpg?v=1774906221","url":"https:\/\/fagerbitsusa.com\/products\/fager-matilda-titanium-baby-fulmer","provider":"Fager Bits USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
