Fager Ludwig Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon

Fager Ludwig is a good choice for horses who you would describe as the following:

• Can be worried in the mouth but get too stiff on a lockup bit or straight bit
• Reluctant to soften down into the bit.
• Requires encouragement to seek out the contact and keep a consistent contact.
• Can overreact when you take the reins
• Can get on and off in the contact

Ludwig is a double-jointed sweet iron bradoon bit with laying joints.

The Horizontal joints will lay flat against the tongue and palate to give a more gentle pressure on the tongue than vertical joints. This can be good for horses that can overreact when you take the reins and need to keep the consistent contact through every movement. It's also a good option for horses with a low palate.

Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. We have both grey and blue sweet iron coatings.

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.

If you are searching for a gentle, kind bit for a sensitive horse that can overreact to a double jointed bit with vertical joints, we would definitely recommend trying Fager Ludwig.
