Product Details
IMPORTANT: Fager Felix offers two fittings, each offering a very different result.
Fitted one way it creates a front-lock, whereas when turned around and fitted the other way there is no locking of the joint.
WITH front lock is recommended if you would describe your horse as the following:
- Can be inconsistent in the connection.
- Do not actively seek contact towards the bit.
- Drops the bit/falls behind the hand.
WITHOUT front lock is recommended if you would describe your horse as the following:
- Can be inconsistent in the connection.
- Feels stiff under the saddle.
- Bites down on the bit, attempting to pull it back.
- Attempts to place the tongue over the bit.
Anatomically designed for comfort, Felix is a lightweight single-jointed bit with our unique Fager Smart System – FSS™. This innovative system is designed to lock the joint in any direction, in order to avoid any interference with the palate; thus avoiding the ‘nutcracker’ effect.
It creates the feel of a classic straight bit, yet with added flexibility. The design creates stability whilst ensuring free movement and comfort in the horse’s mouth through a well-balanced, horse-friendly bit which has proven to be greatly appreciated by sensitive horses.
Felix’s design is curved to create room and allow freedom for the tongue. A horse with a sensitive tongue will appreciate this innovative design and will be more accepting of the contact, creating a refreshed willingness to work.
