It is an incredibly comfortable bit featuring 100% super smooth surfaces, including the joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarcus’s joints are designed to never press against the sides of the palate or create uneven pressure over the bars. It is an extremely comfortable bit which contours naturally around the tongue, relieving the bars from constant pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sweet Iron material naturally oxidizes and rusts when in use. This oxidation process creates a ‘sweet’ taste which increases and encourages salivation. If you are looking for more contact in the hand, we recommend using a Sweet Iron bit as the taste encourages the horse to actively seek the contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFager mouthpiece designs are always horizontally straight – \u003cstrong\u003enone have a big bend forward\u003c\/strong\u003e. We design them in this way to maintain the correct balance point (BP) in the mouth. When a bit creates a bigger bend forwards, the BP is also moved forward, which ultimately reduces the effectiveness of your aids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique design also promotes protection of the bars and the fleshy parts of the mouth from rubs and sores, even in the most sensitive horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eN.B.
