Fager - ALEXANDER Sweet Iron Fixed Rings (Old style)
If you would describe your horse as something with the following;
- Never really seem to appreciate the bit you have.
- Refusing to soften down into the bit
Alexander's anatomically shaped mouthpiece 45° twisted french link is following the natural contour of the tongue. Together with the taste of sweet iron, this bit accepted even by very picky and sensitive horses.
This middle piece works well on a horse who uses his tongue to push against the bit and therefore taking control.
When taking the reins, it will give both bar and tongue pressure making the horse come back with a lighter feeling in your hands.
A good option for starting young horses.

TIPS & INFORMATION
- Sweet iron is meant to rust. Most horses love the taste it gives.
- When you receive your bit it has protection oil to prevent it from rusting before being used. It might make the bit look a bit filthy as first sight. The oil can be either cleaned with a simple towel/paper before start using it or not. The oil is harmless for the horse.
- If you want to delay the rusting process, wipe the bit dry after every use.
- Do you think your bit is too rusty after a long time use? Put the sweet iron in Coca Cola and the rust will go away. It is the phosphorus in Coca Cola that makes the rust dissolve. Please be careful using any other strong chemicals with phosphorus in it! Coca Cola works fine, we promise.
Note that the blue color of the sweet iron will go away or fade along with the rust when you choose to do this.
