Julia Sweet iron Dee rings

Fager Julia is suitable for horses that you would describe as some of the following:

• Strong, pulls/leans on the bit.
• Sensitive tongue, can pull the reins and play with the tongue.
• Unresponsive when you take the reins.
• Needs to seek more contact with the bit without getting stiff and strong.

Julia's double-jointed mouthpiece has a tongue relief, relieving constant pressure. This bit is a good option for horses that can get on and off in the contact, lean on the bit where you want a consistent contact without the horse getting unresponsive, stiff and strong.

The Roller is positioned further down than the joints to increase the point-pressure on the tongue. Creating pressure when your horse pulls or feels heavy in your hand without creating consistent pressure.

The roller also allows horses something to play with, perfect for horses who can feel numb to the contact.

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.

Dee rings
Dee rings are attached to the mouthpiece, and the reins’ contact will be more still towards the mouth. Dee rings will encourage a horse to keep the contact towards the bit and create a stable feeling for both the horse and rider. The Dee rings make the bit lay still in the mouth and prevent the bit from sliding side to side. The straight sides help with steering and framing.
