Fager Matilda Titanium Loose Ring Snaffle

Fager Matilda Titanium Loose Ring Snaffle

Matilda is a lightweight double-jointed bit with a special lock-up function. The Matilda mouthpiece has a tongue relief, but locks upwards, which can be beneficial for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars who still have a large tongue and prefer a tongue relief.

The bit does not lock forward like a normal lock-up bit, which means you don't get the stiff feel of a straight bit.

• Can be restless in the mouth on a jointed bit, but too stiff on a straight bit.
• May open its mouth and pull on the reins.
• Needs a consistent but light feel in the hand. May overreact when you take up the reins.
• May jump up and down on contact.
• Sensitive tongue, but sharp/pointed bars.

Available in sizes: 95 mm /105 mm / 115 mm / 125 mm / 135 mm / 145 mm

The joints are turned away from the tongue, providing a softer, smoother pressure on the tongue. This can be beneficial for horses that overreact when you take up the reins and need to maintain constant contact with every movement. The lightweight material provides a light feel in the hand.

A bit with tongue relief is suitable for horses with a large, sensitive tongue that may open their mouth, pull on the reins, and play with their tongue.

The Fager Matilda Titanium loose ring snaffle can also be tested during a bit fitting and/or bridle fitting; delivery time for a new bit is approximately 5 working days. It is also available as a test bit.

Titanium is a tasteless metal that naturally adapts to the temperature of the mouth, making the horse accept the bit better and feel more comfortable. We usually recommend a titanium bit for horses with sensitive mouths who may react to other metals, for example with red spots or sores, despite soft contact with the hands.

Titanium provides a super light feel in the hand and a quicker response compared to a heavier bit, especially when combined with the right mouthpiece for the individual horse.
