Fager Emil Titanium Loose Ring Bit, 16mm Mouth

The Fager Emil Titanium Loose Ring Bit with 16mm mouth is recommended by its maker if you’d describe your horse as follows:

• Easily develops cuts or sores.
• Feels rigid to the contact on one or both sides.
• Needs more flexibility than a standard straight bit.

Emil is a lightweight, durable, double-jointed titanium snaffle bit. Its simple, unique design is intended to offer the ultimate comfort to the horse. The whole of the bit surface, including the joints, is 100% smooth to allow complete fluidity and freedom in the mouth.

Emil is a great solution for sensitive horses who easily develop sores and cuts as it protects the bars and the flesh of the mouth.

The joints are specifically designed never to interfere with or push against the palate. The mouthpiece conforms naturally to the shape of the tongue while relieving the bars from constant pressure. The lightweight, straight design helps to promote more precise and direct communication down the reins.

Constructed using Fager’s Anoblast™ manufacturing technique, this is a high-quality, extremely durable bit. The gray color results from the production process; no additional coloring is used.

Fager bits always sit horizontally straight without a bigger bend forward. The reasoning behind this is to ensure that the bit maintains the correct balance point (BP) in the mouth, creating stability and clear communication for the horse. When a bit creates a bigger bend forward, it also moves the BP forward, detrimentally reducing the effectiveness of the rein aids. The balance point will remain, even if it has a slight bend over the tongue and upwards.

Key features & benefits:

• Lightweight, comfortable bit with super-smooth surfaces, including the joints.
• Contours comfortably and naturally around the tongue, relieving the bars from constant pressure.
• Extremely high-quality and durable titanium bit; gray color comes from the production process rather than additives.
• Mouthpiece is horizontally straight to help maintain the correct balance point in the mouth.
• Helps protect the bars and fleshy parts of the mouth from rubs and sores.
• Loose rings move independently from the mouthpiece, giving the horse more freedom to use his tongue and enabling him to place the pressure from the mouthpiece either higher or lower.

Titanium as a mouthpiece metal is valued for its low density, high strength and resistance to corrosion. All Fager titanium bits are quality checked and made of 100% medical titanium, ensuring you can use and feel the full benefits of this fantastic metal.

Titanium is a tasteless metal which naturally adapts to the temperature of the mouth, encouraging the horse to accept the bit and be more comfortable. It is ideal for sensitive-mouthed horses that  react to other metals. (Symptoms of reaction include red marks or sores developing despite a soft contact from the hands.) Titanium gives a super light feeling in the hand and quicker response when compared to a heavier bit, particularly when combined with the correct mouthpiece for the individual horse.
