Fager Jenny is suitable if you would describe your horse as the following;
Strong, pulls/lean on the bit.
Sensitive to the aids yet still feels stiff.
Inconsistent in the contact.
Have difficulty finding a bit in which this horse is happy.
Jenny’s double-jointed mouthpiece creates space for the tongue, relieving constant tongue pressure.
The Copper Roller is cleverly designed to be positioned lower than the joints to increase the point-pressure on the tongue. This creates pressure when your horse pulls or feels heavy in your hand without applying consistent pressure.
The Copper Roller also gives horses something to play with, perfect for horses who can feel numb to the contact.
The combination of Sweet Iron and Copper creates a taste in the mouth which is readily accepted even by the most sensitive or picky horses. It effectively works to increase acceptance and a steady contact.
Fager mouthpiece designs are always horizontally straight – none have a big bend forward. We design them in this way to maintain the correct balance point (BP) in the mouth. When a bit creates a bigger bend forwards, the BP also moves forward, which reduces the effectiveness of the aids.
N.B. The balance point remains even if it has a slight bend over the tongue = Upwards.
Note; Jenny has the same mouthpiece as Julia. Julia is the snaffle version = normal snaffle rings. Jenny is the bradoon version = smaller rings.
