Fager John is the ideal choice If you would describe your horse as the following;

  • Pulls on the bit, yet over-reactive to increased pressure on the reins.
  • Develops cuts, sores and rubs easily at the corners of the mouth.
  • Unsteady in the contact.
  • Difficult to steer.

John is Fager’s double-jointed Baby Fulmer bit.  The design is constructed to be 100% smooth everywhere, even around the joints for ultimate comfort.

The joints of the bit are cleverly designed to ensure they don’t ever push against the palate or sit on top of the bars. John is an extremely comfortable bit which contours naturally around the horse’s tongue.

This design is ideal for horses that easily cut or bruise.

As an added benefit, the straight and thin design enhances the rider’s aids to be more effective, direct and precise than ever before.

s Fager’s patented Baby Fulmer cheeks which are curved to avoid unnecessary pressure on the horse’s face. The Baby Fulmers stabilize the mouthpiece whilst the endings are purposefully designed to be straight and of equal thickness to stabilize the rings.

Universal rings allow variation of the leverage to suit different situations and horses:

For maximum leverage, attach the reins to the bottom ring and this creates a gag effect.

For a mix which emulates a mix of a Baucher bit and loose rings, attach the reins to the middle ring.

We also recommend using the Fager Non-swivle hooks and Chain to distribute the pressure more evenly between the poll, chin, and mouth.
