Martin Fager Martin FL Sweet iron Kimblehook
Description
Fager Martin is suitable for horses that you would describe as some of the following:
Doesn’t instinctively seek out the contact.
Worried in the mouth.
Needs to lay more on the bit without getting strong.
Strong but sensitive.
Frantically chew on the bit.
Fager Martin is a double-jointed Sweet Iron bit featuring a Front Lock system. This means that the bit has a sweet taste to make the horse seek more contact with the bit, and when you have a good contact in the reins, the bit locks like a straight bit. This will help your horse to keep the consistent contact if it struggles to trust the bit.
Martin offers outstanding stability and comfort. When the horse is working, the Front lock is there to assist, whatever the positioning of the head. From a low position (stretching out) or higher (over a jump), the closure continues to work even if the reins pull the bit upwards; making the bit turn downwards – this is where a regular lockup system would fail. It also makes it considerably more forgiving against any unexpected movements of your hands.
Material
Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. The purpose is to disguise the metal taste from stainless steel and create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging the horse to seek more contact and hold on to the bit. Following use, sweet iron will start to oxidize and turn brownish grey, this is to be expected.
Sweet iron is a good choice for horses who need to seek more contact with the bit.
Kimblehook
The Kimblehook can be described as a fixed ring with the possibility to add leverage when you need it. The further down you place your rein; the more pressure will be added and divided between chin, poll, and mouth. The stable feeling Kimblehook creates can be good for fuzzy and worried horses that gets strong, unbalanced and hard to turn. The Kimblehook puts the pressure further down in the mouth which can help a horse that gets too high in the neck. Kimblehooks are always used together with a chain or strap behind the chin.

Please note, horses who are wide over the premolars/teeth may need to size up in this bit due to the upper shanks. This is because the sidepiece of the bridle is attached to the upper shank of the bit, which is placed higher up where some horses are wider than others.
