The mouthpiece has a tongue relief but locks upwards, which can be good for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars who still prefers a tongue relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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 sweet taste together with the stability makes the horse seek a stable contact with the bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are searching for a gentle, kind bit for a sensitive horse, we would definitely recommend trying Fager Mattias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fager Bits USA","offers":[{"title":"145MM \/ 5 3\/4\"","offer_id":47986769363156,"sku":"MATTIAS145FSALE","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/1273\/8199\/files\/mattiasfixed.webp?v=1729015428","url":"https:\/\/fagerbitsusa.com\/products\/gently-used-fager-mattias-sweet-iron-fixed-ring","provider":"Fager Bits USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
