If you would describe your horse as something with the following;
Can be on/off in the connection
Slow reactions for your aids
Feel stiff, "dead" in the mouth
Sensitive for bar pressure
Alice is a durable and lightweight double-jointed titanium bit.
The shape of the mouthpiece combined with the short centerpiece eliminates palate interference. It breaks to the outside of the tongue.
The Titanium Roller gives the horse something to play with and is a very good option if the horse can feel stiff and get stuck in the connection.
Alice has Fager's new Anoblast™ technique, making it the most durable and highest quality titanium bit on the market! The grey color comes naturally from the process.
Together with Fager's titanium Weymouth, this set weighs around 400 grams(!) less than a regular double bridle.
Fager's designs are always straight horizontally = Never has a bigger bend forward.
We design them that way to keep the balance point (BP) in the mouth. If you have a bigger bend forward, you will also move the BP forward and slowing down the process of your aids. More stable and less confusing for your horse.
It has also been shown to protect the bars and flesh from burn marks and wounds on the most sensitive horse.
NOTE: The balance point will still be kept even if it has a slight bend over the tongue = Upwards.
