Note that Fanny can be used in two ways. With or without forward-locking.
With forward locking.
- Hard to reach the bit
- Can be on and off in contact.
- Sensitive with pressure over the tongue, can toss the head, make sudden jerky movements, etc.
- Becomes unstable on regular three-piece bits.
Without forward locking. The locking is then back towards the throat.
- Pulls back and bites on the bit
- Can lean into the hand and try to take control
- Takes no constant or even support
- Unstable on three-piece bits
Fager's smart FSS locking. (Fager's Smart System) With this technique, the bit locks upwards and forwards to create a bit with limited flexibility. This provides calm to a horse that finds it hard to trust the bit and seek honest support. The light weight makes it less rigid and increases acceptance. The constant pressure is low and thus more comfortable to wear.
Fanny is designed to follow the horse's natural shape and provide less constant pressure over the tongue.
