Velari Simple olive snaffle bit for horse Sweet Iron 16mm 12,5cm

Main features

• single joint mouthpiece for clear and direct pressure
• the sweet iron promotes natural salivation and relaxation
• the eggbutt rings provide stability, discretion and consistent rein aids.

This bit rests softly in the horse's mouth, offering a stable and attentive feel from the very first contact. Its single joint design ensures clear communication between the rider and horse, while the eggbutt rings keep the bit quiet and steady in the mouth. This encourages reliable acceptance of the bit and a stable connection, without unnecessary movement or complexity.

Made from sweet iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes with use, stimulating salivation and encouraging the horse to remain soft and yielding in the mouth. This contributes to a more supple contact and a calmer, more confident attitude.

The single joint mouthpiece creates a more direct and clearer connection, transmitting hand aids with precision. When the reins are tensioned, the joint forms a V that distributes pressure on the tongue and bars. This design is suitable for horses with a higher palate, as the single joint sits neatly at the centre of the mouth without applying excessive pressure to the palate. Many horses enjoy the clean and uncomplicated feel of a single joint bit, especially those who prefer a well-defined action point and stable contact.

With eggbutt rings, the mouthpiece remains more stable in the horse's mouth, avoiding excessive lateral movement and reducing the risk of pinching at the corners. This stability suits horses that appreciate a more discreet bit, helping them to remain confident in the contact. The fixed rings provide consistent and reliable rein aids, contributing to a soft yet secure connection throughout the session.

Ideal for

- horses that appreciate a simple and direct mouthpiece

Care & Use
After each session, rinse the bit in warm water and then dry it with a soft cloth. Over time, the sweet iron will develop a slight patina - a natural oxidation process that improves taste and acceptance. Store it in a dry place and check regularly for wear to keep it even.
Ensure that the bit is positioned correctly: the star should be on the left and the Velari logo on the right.
