Main features

•Sweet Iron promotes natural salivation and relaxation

•the wings provide stable guidance and clear, precise rein aids

This bit sits gently in the horse's mouth, providing a direct and responsive feel from the first contact. Its single joint design ensures clear communication between rider and horse, while the wings offer sustained lateral support and keep the bit stable in the mouth - an advantage for young or less experienced horses. This promotes reliable acceptance of the bit and consistent connection, without unnecessary complexity.

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

The single joint mouthpiece creates a more direct and clearer connection, conveying hand actions precisely. When the reins are taut, the joint forms a V that distributes pressure across the tongue and the bars. This design is suitable for horses with a higher palate, as the single joint sits neatly in the centre of the mouth without putting excessive pressure on the palate. Many horses appreciate the clean and uncomplicated feel of a single joint bit, especially those who prefer a well-defined action point and stable contact.

With wings, the bit offers precise lateral support, helping the horse understand the rider's cues with clarity and calm. It's an excellent choice for young or inexperienced horses, as the fixed wings provide gentle and reliable guidance. The wings keep the mouthpiece stable, encouraging soft chewing and confident connection. This stability supports precise rein aids and a smooth, consistent connection throughout the work.

•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 regularly check 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.
