Velari Double twisted olive bit for horse Sweet Iron 14mm 11,5cm

Main Features

• double joint mouthpiece for even pressure distribution on the tongue and bars
• sweet iron promotes natural salivation and relaxation
• olive rings provide stability, discretion, and consistent rein aids.

This bit sits gently in the horse's mouth, providing a stable and attentive feel from the first contact. Its double joint design distributes pressure evenly and offers soft communication between the rider and the horse, while the olive rings keep the bit quiet and steady in the mouth. This encourages reliable acceptance of the bit and a stable connection, with no unnecessary movement or complexity.

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

The double joint mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly on the tongue and bars, avoiding the nutcracker effect and offering a soft and stable feel. Horses that benefit from balanced pressure and a bit that follows the natural shape of the mouth often respond very well to this model. It's also a great option for horses with a low palate, as the double joint reduces movement towards the palate, providing extra comfort.

With olive rings, the mouthpiece remains more stable in the horse's mouth, preventing excessive lateral movement and reducing the risk of pinching at the corners. This stability is well suited to horses who prefer 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 soft and stable mouthpiece

- horses with a lower palate who are sensitive to the nutcracker effect of single joint bits

- riders seeking precision and a consistent, discreet connection without tension

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 enhances taste and acceptance. Store it in a dry place and check regularly for wear to ensure it remains even.
Make sure the bit is correctly positioned: the star should be on the left and the logo Velari on the right.
