mattiaskimb Fager Mattias Sweet iron Kimblehook

Fager Mattias 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.
Can be strong, but still sensitive
Needs stability
Get high in the neck

Mattias is a double-jointed sweet iron bit with a special lockup function. The mouthpiece has a tongue relief but locks upwards, which can be good for horses with a low palate and sensitive bars who still prefers a tongue relief.

The bit doesn't lock forward like a normal lockup bit, which means that you won't get the stiff feeling of a straight bit.

The joints are rotated away from the tongue, which gives a more gentle, smooth pressure on the tongue. This can be good for horses that can overreact when you take the reins and need to keep the consistent contact through every movement. The sweet taste together with the stability makes the horse seek a stable contact with the bit.

The Kimblehook can be described as a fixed ring with the possibility to add leverage when you need it. The further down you place your rein; the more pressure will be added and divided between chin, poll, and mouth.

The stable feeling Kimblehook creates can be good for fuzzy and worried horses that get strong, unbalanced, and hard to turn.

The Kimblehook puts the pressure further down in the mouth which can help a horse that gets too high in the neck.

Kimblehooks are always used together with a chain or strap behind the chin.
